2a. Harold the day after Foxtrot Ridge with a

captured AK-47.  I have a new shirt on.  We had

nothing after the battle.  The AK 47 was later

presented to Col. "Blackjack" Davis.

 

 

1a. This man called in air strikes. 

Does anyone know his name?

4a. Fox 2-3 Platoon  Commander.

5a. Staff Sgt. ?, getting a foot rub from the Navy.

 

6a. Fox 2-3-3 CP Radio Operator.

What does 2-3-3 mean?  2nd Batalion-3rd Marines-3rd Marine Division.

I thought we were in the 1st Marines.  Oh, well,

I guess that's why they called us

2-3 "rent a battalion".
