The Mighty Ninth

Strive To Reach The Summit

The Final Days: October, 1967  RSOP from LZ OD to Tam Ky
The monsoon lifts; BnCo Bobzien (hands on hips) checks on troops.  White t-shirt: SSG Frank Venegas, Chief of Smoke (deceased); Capt Mike Casp (KIA) in front-left.  Soldier in the rear is likely Lt Malcolm Spencer, who became the new "A"Battery Executive Officer (XO).  The vital FDC CONEX unit was not totally covered in sandbags when the monsoon hit.  If you note carefully, the mud is totally mush.
