Dixon9a.jpgTo my rescue...194 viewsLZ Liz was a scary place to me. Never felt at ease there. I did some commo work out there and this particular time, the guns had been firing quite a bit all night long. I "slept" (if you could call it that) in a bunker right near one of the guns... and was a welcome sight to see the sun come up that next morning. I awoke to the sound of a Chinook coming to get me and to drop off supplies and food. I took pix of him on the way in and landing. It looked like the sun was shining right through him on the way in. Man, it was a beautiful sight to see!...

Dixon38.jpg"Short-Timer"194 viewsWhat does a "short-timer" look like? Well, here is your big clue. The steel pot was damaged by a mortar round. The white picket fence led to the Marines tent area. One of the Marines saved my neck when we were overrun by the VC with satchel charges in our commo area.

We_Were_There-rev1.pdf194 viewsThis a a "pdf" file using the Adobe Reader. If you are able to open and view it, you will see the names, addresses and Emails from the Registration Sheets.
The Adobe Reader is free software and probably a good thing to have on your computer. The software to create "pdf" documents is another matter. It for sale and pricey, too.
