Rick_E_2-2.JPGThe Blonde Bombshell290 viewsCpl Jim "Tex" Shelton and PFC Rick Ericksen seemed to enjoy escorting this radio and TV personality actress Chris Noel around the firebase. Well...at least it beats KP.
December, 2014, Capt Stu Royle adds some interesting additional info:
I know no one is looking at it, but immediately behind the 3 is the 1/14th Infantry VIP briefing tent and it had some captured VC/NVA weapons and equipment on display. I found a 8mm film that I took of Chris getting off the helicopter and being escorted to the 1/14th by LTC Robertson, 1/14th CO but can't get digital images from the film that are viewable.
