A peek through the trees

Water buffalo in rice patties. Small children were able to handle the water buffalo, while soldiers were intimidated.

Looking up at where we had been.

What beauty!!!

Antenna Valley, had many booby traps,  where John David Knight was killed Dec.31, 1968.

All rice and no place to hide.

Went on night ambush, early a.m. spotted 8 dinks on trail. M60 machine gun jammed, had to call in artillery too far away for M16s to reach.
