I was with Sargent Malcolm when he died. Also with Sargent Smith and Frank Ruiz. William Morrow was in my squad. I don’t remember what platoon I was in. I remember Sargent Smith and I taking out a hidden dugout I saw while trying to advance up to an objective in the Ashaw. After Platoon Sargent Malcolm was killed and others were wounded, we heard the other squads who were taking the hill made it to the top. I and others decided that we take the wounded back as the objective was taken and why should we continue and risk it. We pulled back and waited for support and then made it up to the objective. I remember we were RPG’D the following morning and I only had a small splinter of metal hit my head which I just pulled out and that was that. I was amaised at seeing the NVA dug in positions and large compound structures. All history now. Good luck with your book.
I would just like to thank you Mr. Al Nahas for your time and dedication to this very special project that you did for All the Vietnam Veterans. May God bless you Sir.
Please let me know when your coming to south Floria.
