I remember I got married in April 1966 and had a full month of leave before getting orders to report, so I think I was there from May or June 1966 to one year later in 1967. I started with the unit when they were in Dak To just after that big fire fight where the VC had a company encircled and Capt. Carpenter called in napalm on his unit. I left when the Brigade was operating out of Quang Tri, up North.
