My Worst Day In Nam
 

I didn't think I was going to survive this convoy. Two of the three guys that I found last year from my old platoon were with me that day. It has haunted me all these years and I can still see it as if it happened yesturday. Wayne has written a story about it for our army trans corp association. If any of you get really really bored, go to www.atav.us and click on Bastone convoy under our picture. I'm the gieky looking guy in the back row left. [I forgot to mention I was hauling 8 or 12 pallets of black powder canisters and these red flashes kept comming real near me and exploding in the jungle.] I didn't know what an RPG was at the time.

Welcome home , bro . Thank you.

Just think of how scarey it would have been had you KNOWN what RPGs were!You guys did big,Bro.Welcome home.

Welcome,
This place certainly is home. And we are all glad that you are here to share it.

As for the RPGs...sometimes ignorance is indeed bliss. I'm with Griz on this one, if you had known, it would have been that much more terrifying for you.

I had been in Vietnam about 3.5 months and it wasn't the first time I had been shot at. When this started, I panicked so bad that I almost jumped out of the truck into the jungle with my M-14 for cover. I don't know what stopped me. The road [path] was only wide enough for one vehecle, so I would have blocked half the people behind me in the kill zone. a lot of people would have died because of me.

When were you there? After the engineers wided the road and moved back the jungle, we started going between
camp Eagle, Birmingham and Bastone pretty often.

I was there in 68' for a couple of weeks and then again in early 69' as the jump off point when we provided security for the 326th Engineers when they started to do the rest of QL-547 up to the southern end of the Ashau. Highway 547 was the highway, if you can call it that , you ran to Bastogne from Eagle.

Been in the northern part of the Ashau with Sheridans and ACAV's scared and loaded for bear. Sure as $hit would not want to be driving a truck around there. Thank you again :ae:
