This picture was taken March 30th 1968. We made contact while on a recon mission. "Charlie" fired an RPG at us that hit a tree just before impacting our track. We returned that afternoon in force and were ambushed. We took very heavy fire and had two troopers on A24 KIA in the very same spot this picture was taken. The VC must have been watching us take this picture. Killed were SP5 Walter "Bubber" Brannon and SSG McKinley Matlock. |
