DLD-TJ.jpgWhew!Dennis Dauphin & TJ Blue seemed to be saying "Whew, that was close!" Turns out that Dauphin was in the FDC CONEX directing the fires of "A" Battery while Blue was an Infantry Platoon Ldr for B-1-35. His FO, Lt Don Keith, was on the ground calling the missions.

We lost our good brother and comrade-in-arms TJ Blue in 2020.
