Dixon22.jpgO Tannenbaum?237 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!

Dixon21a.jpgMore Commo Dudes236 viewsA few more of our commo guys from HQ Batt in Duc Pho. On the left is "Philly" (from Philadelphia- we always called him "Philly"), PFC Hogan, Cpl Franklin and Sgt Ken Fogel (of Wis). Fogel was a great friend & stand-up guy to know if there ever was one. If you look verrrry closely you can see a sign just behind the tall head there that says "The Mighty Ninth 2/9th". There were two senior sergeants who oversaw the commo section and they slept in the hootch to the right of the photo with the carved supports. One of these was a Sgt Houston– the guy who'd always ask for "volunteers to go to Bn HQ". The other was a particularly disagreeable chap whose name I cannot recall.

Slide36.jpgInside the CONEX236 viewsCheck this FDC out! Lotsa cool memories. 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.
