I had just got to DaNang and a week later we moved up to Qua Viet. I remember getting shelled 3 days after we landed, and we didn't have much in the way of bunkers for safety. I later was sent to a single platoon on an island off of Hue. Was there at Tet and later returned to Qua Viet just in time to experience the fuel dunp getting hit. I remember it burned for days. I was in H&S motor pool. Sorry I don't remember any names. Great bunch of guys.

I was with 3rd Trac's in 66-67 at Chu Lai. After Gunny O'Rourke moved on, I took over as platoon sergeant of the
E-1 platoon in H&S Co. We had a great bunch of damn good Marines over there. Originally, I was trained (who remembers Camp Del Mar back then at Pendleton (ha))with the How-6's. Just before 'Nam they put them in mothballs at 29 Palms. I still have a great photo that was taken of the How-6 Company just prior to being disbanded in 1962. That's when I went into the E-1's. Great experiences back in those days. I think all the time of Charles (Nicky) Nicastro, a corporal and a friend, who was killed on his first mission in-country. He wasn't supposed to go overseas, since he had only six months left on his enlistment. A truly painful irony. I recently heard from Lt. John Lane, who was our plt. leader for a while over there. He was a "mustang" and retired as a captain. A lot of water under the bridge since then, but I still hold all those memories very, very close. Semper Fi.....
