Don't let Mike slide by you. He was an outstanding welder. Took pieces off a code X'd tractor and resurrected other tractors.
Hey Mike, got a picture of you if you want it, lemme know, and I'll send you the url to it. It's on one of the Amtrac Websites..
Do you remember the name of the guy down in Chu Lai who filled up one of the tractors batteries with seawater. Trying to recall his name and forgot it.
Got mine 5th of May 68. Trying to get my men out after the mortars started dropping in. Jumping down off a tractor trying to help Tommy Tompkins and got an Ak-47 through the right upper arm… So came home wearing a body cast instead of going to Quantico….where my orders were for.
