Doc Fred,
The sapper attack you are thinking of happened on the night of Aug 6, 1969...early morning Aug 7. Sappers attacked the 6th CC, (6th Convalesence Center), killing 2 or 3 and rewounding 98, from what I remember. I remember this date for 2 reasons....Aug 6th is my birthday, and I was there recovering from my wounds of July 31. Now there may have been other attacks in that a/o, but that's the only one that I remember, for good reason. They opened up, as always, with a 122 attack on the AF Air Base, coming in from the water to attack the hospital while the 122's where hitting the base. It was truly a night to remember.
