War Story:
I don't have a map, but it was about 6 miles east of Phouc Vinh. If that checks out, that was Randy and me. I thought the number was 128, but could have been 728. We both got Purple Hearts for it and I got a DFC for pulling him out before it exploded. I'm here in the D/FW area and Randy is living in San Diego. Thanks. Wally Voss
