Strive To Reach The Summit

Hip Shoot @ LZ Marianne
LZ Marianne hip shoot 9-69.  (left to right):  "Pineapple", a Section Chief, Sp4 Donald F. Morrell, far right is the Chief of Smoke.  It was Pineapple's tube that had to be dropped when the Chinook was shot up leaving LZ Tuffy.  He was a great photographer and had his VT fuse box with his camera equipment and his photos slung in the ammo net under the hook, which went down. Morrell was with the soul gun crew, I think he became section chief (gun 4?).  Chief was a great guy.  I think he was given a compassionate early return to the World because of his wife.
