Comments:Arrived DaNang end of November 66 as 0311 - there was a need for more 0331 Machine Guns so I volunteered. Was on the following operations Glenn, Stone, Searcey, Lafayette, Canyon, Humbolt, Union 1, Calhoun, Elliott and finally Pike. Wounded by a grenade April 2, 1967 - we were carrying the Stoners and the gooks wanted one, they hit us good that night. I was back in the action about a month later. In Jul 67 some guys who had been previously wounded were transferred to Security Platoon at 1st Mar Div HDQ, I was there for a month or so and then someone decided they needed us back in the field so instead of sending me back to 3/1 the powers to be sent me to D Co 1/1. On 9/6/67 we went in to help, I believe it was the 5th marines who had gotten hit bad and we got into it and I was hit with 3 bullets and somehow survived. Recovery was about 11 months and 13 operations. Was retired Oct. 1968. Semper Fi to all who have served and a special thanks to all the corpsman, for w! ithout them I would not be here today.
