We got rocketed and that was about it. That night you could here what was going on at Khe Sanh or at least there was a Hell of a lot of Boom going on to our east.
It was around midnight when the Duster commander told us that they expected a sapper attack. We stayed awake 100% all night, every once in awhile you could here some talking and clanking of something towards the mountains in front of us.
About 4:30 in the morning it got so cold that you could see your breath. About every 1/2 hour or so the SP camp would get a Flare round from somewhere. I was never so happy to see a sunrise. When the sun did come up it was sooooo warm. I stood up and stretched, my bunker partner said, what the hell are you doing. That sun sure did feel good. I got back down behind the sandbags. No sapper attack, I guess that would be Thank God no sapper attack.
