I just went where they sent me.
Every Base camp, Like Tam Ky and Chu lai had several Fire bases, I would go from one to another, Then When The 101 came to the area we would work close with those guys, There are at least 3 hill tops that didn't have a name when we got there and cleared and built bunkers and in comes the 101 and took over. Ive worked close with the 101st, 173rd, and verious Cav units, special forces, and around DaNang with the Marines. All over I corps and part of 2 corps, Into Cambodia and way into Laos along RT9. Been to Where the A Shau and the Ia Drang valleys meet, (Around The Dak To/ Kontum area) Been through the winding pass from An Khe to Quin Nhon. Got pictures and the T-shirt. Met a whole bunch of really good guys, any of these units, when the big shit hit the little fan, you would turn around and they would be there. I didn't make much of a difference to them but they sure made a huge difference to me.
