Default Welcome to Vietnam dropout!

I managed to get my paws on a few decades old photos that were sent to my father by his ammo man. I thought I'd share a couple.

Back of photo: "Matt & Pope LZ Colt"


That's my old man on the right in that one.


Back of photo: "Hill 441 West of LZ Center. John, you remember this one we struggled up it in Jan '68."


From what I've heard, the NVA were dug in pretty good on that hill. Lost a few people. The old man caught some mortar shrapnel and 3 bars there. Notice the photo was taken from a Huey.
