Dixon9a.jpgTo my rescue...160 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!...

Dixon13.jpgPitching in160 viewsWhen things got dicey... even though I was a commo guy, there were times when I had to get out there and hump ammo with the guys on the guns. We were all kids, but looking back, we were all brave men too...
