RW-2.JPGThe Mighty Ninth goes by sea106 viewsWhat I remember was that I went by sea and that the trip was rough due to the flat bottom of the LST. I recall standing to get a better view and the ship came down off a wave and buckled my knees. I then climbed into the cab of a truck for the remaining trip to Duc Pho.

Wonder if we are due any ribbons for naval action? G. Dean Springer believes the move definitely occurred although he personally went via convoy. Ray Delano suggests that "A" Battery moved by naval vessel with an Engineer and Cav outfit possibly.
