vn#37.jpgThe Claymore161 viewsThe most common perimenter defense weapon we had was the Claymore. It fired double-ought ball bearings out of a slab of C-4. But our enemy was not stupid...they would: (a) turn them around, and (b) remove the wire connections under the cover of darkness. Always check your Claymores!

DLD-TJ.jpgWhew!161 viewsDennis Dauphin & TJ Blue seemed to be saying "Whew, that was close!" Turns out that Dauphin was in the FDC CONEX directing the fires of "A" Battery while Blue was an Infantry Platoon Ldr for B-1-35. His FO, Lt Don Keith, was on the ground calling the missions.
We lost our good brother and comrade-in-arms TJ Blue in 2020.

JY-1.jpgGetting a better view161 viewsJenny climbed to the top of the sandbagged structure (FDC?) to get a better view. Jenny visited several firebases in the FIELD, not sitting in the rear areas like a lot of well-publicized celebrities who went to Vietnam. Jenny and her cohorts were brave enough to go meet the men who did the fighting, not the ping-pong players in the rear. She feels pretty sure that this photo was taken at LZ St George.

JY-5.jpgLZ St George (?)161 viewsJenny notes that this photo was likely taken at LZ St George. (Should note, however, that the location looks a little "built up" for a typical firebase). Could be grunts or redlegs having a chow-down. Recognize anyone?
