Morning Grit,
I’ve been seeing a lot of chatter in the newsletter about amtracs in Viet Nam lately. January 1st, 1969 at the ripe old age of 18 I found myself serving with the 3d Amtrac Bn. “A” Co. 3d Plt. 1st MarDiv. FMFWestPac. in the republic of Viet Nam. Our Battalion Area was on the beach at Marble Mountain. 3d platoon operated in that area known as Arizona Territory/Dodge City, Charlie Ridge, Hill 10, Hill 37, Hill 55, Hill 65, Liberty Bridge, and some times around An Hoa. I’m sending a few pictures taken at Liberty Bridge showing some of the outstanding Marines I served with and the 37 ton tracked amphibious vehicles we played with. Hope they bring back some fond memories for your readers.
