Thanks to Frisco's call last night....I just found this.
During the utter confusion and horror that was 6 May 69, LZ Carolyn, I saw Doc Beans, (yep, he loved the beans and weenie's, but nobody dared call him Doc Weenie), working on a Trooper who'd been hit in the jaw by a passing RPG. I glanced away to pump more rounds into the holes in our perimeter when I heard Doc scream. When I turned to look he was looking at me for help while being bayonetted by two NVA. They were on him and the young trooper, I didn't know, he was trying to save. His eys said, "Packo, save me!" I couldn't. I killed his killers....but both were dead. Didn't mean nuthin.....it was the way it was.
Kinda wish I'd have passed this thread.....but reading everyone else took me to 6 May. God Bless Beans! God bless all of ya'll....it does mean sumthin!
Packo
