LD-1.JPGPopular Dog148 viewsLooks like we have yet another photo of "Short Round". Much talk and I think a special place on the 2/9th web site for pics of unit adopted dogs. Here is another. This dog had several names as I recall... "Short Round" being one of them, but he had others as well. Guy with him here was a Commo member, but I cannot recall his name. Possibly Terry. If I remember, he was a lineman. He arrived shortly before went home. By this time, I believe the 'ol hard-ass sarge was gone or at least not somewhere close enough to have influence. He would have never allowed boots to look like that! Note the the "urinator" and ammo boxes in the background. I think this was at Kontum...

FDC_Boys.JPGThe Two Dennis148 viewsHome safe from Vietnam, Dennis Munden and I will never forget our 24-hr shift sharing in the A/2/9 FDC atop LZ OD. We computed so many fire missions, especially after landing in Duc Pho to relieve the US Marines who were sent further north. It was a time of great stress and concentration, putting the artillery where it was needed. Photo taken at Dauphin's home in Ocean Springs, MS.

WmWard-5.JPGIn Memory of Ronnie Mishima148 viewsJohn Bowden with coin.
Ronnie Mashima was a cannoneer in Bravo Battery with me and Danny Fort. He wanted very much to come to the reunion but was unable to. He sent 3 coins to me. He wanted me and Danny to have one and someone who remembered him to have the other. John Bowden remembered him well. Ronnie wanted in some way to be represented at the reunion.
