In October, 1967, I went to Vietnam with the 25th Infantry Division.
Assigned to Battery c, 3rd Battalion, 13th Artillery. We would travel around and set up fire support bases. It was my job to keep communications between the fire direction center, command post, and the big guns. March 15, 1968, during the TET Offensive, my platoon leader, Sergeant Bill Reynolds and I were hit in a mortar attack. I was hit with shrapnel in the head, chest, and right leg. A Medivac chopper flew me to Cu Chi Base Camp. Then to the 106th Military Hospital in Yokahama, Japan, and later onto Fitzsimmons Army Hospital in Denver, Colorado. Before I was wounded I had seen other soldiers get hit, but I didn't realize the full impact until seeing some of the wounded in the hospitals. I have always felt guilty because I was so fortunate to return home when 58,000 young soldiers lost their lives, and 75,000 others were severely disabled.
