John was sent to
Ia-Drang Valley as part the
88th Infantry. John arrived there by Chinook on Nov 4, 1965...
John still laughs as his Birthday was November 4 and, because of
International date time, he had his Birthday twice November on 4,
1965. |

As a young man
strung out across the Valley, he never knew where he really was at, or
the men with him.
