Served in Vietnam February 1967 to February 1968 1st Battalion-327th Airborne, ABU 4th platoon

Most of the men in my platoon were either wounded or killed in Mother’s Day Hill battle. Out of 30 in my platoon four remained. I was then placed in another platoon until they found replacements. After replacements I was back in 4th platoon.
