SitRep from your RTO.
Posted for: JOHN CECIL DRIVER:
16 this 16 kilo, April 17, 1969, the CO was looking for fight and another bar, you were reading a letter I assume from home. The OP blew their claymore mine, grabbing your M16 you did fly down into the valley you did charge, the NVA were waiting, Driver you did drive on, I followed closely behind, the buzz of AK rounds did sizzle past the ears over the helmet, between the legs, under the arms, I looked but could not find, but suddenly I found that hero's do die. The memories linger of that day, I was lost in the "world" as if no one cared, but I was in a place where "Eagles" dared. Walsh was your replacement, he took the radio and put me back on point(?) Later Graney rec'd another bar, and we other scars, I believe you had angels watch over me. See you again, over. 16 this is 16 kilo "I survived," "Drive On Driver", 101" B Co 2/501. From your Blackfeet Indian "RTO." Crossguns
