Thumbs up

Wayne , Lam Son 719 came from 1971 and RT 9. We ran down RT. 9 to the border of Laos. ARVN then went through us into Laos to cut the trail. Within two weeks or so they got their a$$ kicked and became a mob running out of Laos. We became a rear guard against NVA divisions , with tanks and big mortars. Truck resupply along RT 9 was critical. They ambushed the $hit out of you guys. If a truck got hit they just pushed it off the side of the road. I could not have done what Doc Fred did or you either. Thanks for the bullets. Welcome Home again !
