Wilson, H&S 3/5
I joined up with H&S 3/5 in May of "68" as a radio
operator. I was
put with the Battalion Command group humping radio's for 3 Battalion
C.O's, Rexroad, Seymour and Atkinson (?), also sometimes for the
Ops Officer. Only one I remember is Maj. Rich. Made the tour from
Arizona, Go Noi, Charlie Ridge, and others I can't remember.
I was on MAMELUKE THRUST,
ALLENBROOK, HOUSTON III & IV, MAUI PEAK and HENDERSON
HILL. Caught an AK round in my right shoulder on HENDERSON HILL
the night of 10/27 outside "Dodge City," and was sent
home.
I'm
looking for some of the radio operators, Al Davis (my partner),
Chuck Shimkus (I think he partnered with Jim Blankenheim), Larry
Fuller and Miller (81's). Any help would be great!
I
was thrilled to find the 3/5 site May '99. My thanks to Ed, Curtis,
Jerry, The Beerman, and Brad and Debbe for 'bringing me home.' ~Mike
