My Nam tour was from July '69 – June '70. I spent many daysb at An Hoa, first as a member of H&S Co, 1st Tanks. Myself and 2 Flame tanks spent 5 weeks spraying Agent Orange from Liberty Bridge (Phu loc 6) to Charlie Ridge to An Hoa. Christmas Eve '69 while following the minesweep out going back to Tank Hill (Da Nang) the lead Flame was blown off the road by a command detonated device… Blew the tank completely off the road. Later I was TDY to An Hoa while with a tank platoon from Bravo, 1st Tanks… I'll always remember the mud during the monsoon. After 1st Tanks pulled out in Feb '70, I was re-assigned to Alpha Co, 5th Motor T Bn. We ran convoys twice week to An Hoa which was always kinda crazy. Didn't get to see the EM club though. A prolific memory I have is being asked to take letters /mail from the 5th Marine grunts all along Liberty Road as we drove back to our motor pool in Da Nang. I could relate as I spent 3 months as a 0311 on 1st Tanks "OP Manta" before they got overrun in Oct '69. War is HELL!!!
