Dixon22.jpgO Tannenbaum?242 viewsI'm on the left, Ken Fogel, middle, and at right was Zastrow, I recall. I believe he was shot on perimeter guard duty at Duc Pho, sent home and recovered later. A very likable fellow with a great sense of humor. I think he was from Wis/Minn area. I preferred to eat C's in the field- even often at Duc Pho/Montezuma. But in this case, somebody sent us canned goods from back home and we were FEASTING! I got hit with something from a truck that had exploded (probably from a booby trap) along the way. From that time on, I wore my flack jacket and steel pot... because those wonderful things are what absorbed whatever hit me and save my life! Here, as we eat from the cans, Fogel is attempting to teach us a song in German!

Note the RDP fan at top left, a good look at the FADAC (center), a can of RISE shaving cream on the shelf, a standard GI flashlight clipped to the wall at right and a guy wondering (Dietrich) why you want to take his picture. That's Geary Burrows in the background.

DScott-4.JPGRe-designed vehicle241 viewsNo...this isn't a new GM truck off the lot. It was re-designed by the enemy. Uncle Sam would not likely approve these modifications. And, oh yeah, we just got word of a CMMI next week.
