JS-7.JPGConvoy plusMy best guess is the convoy to Ban Me Thuot and a couple guns on the way. The little Lambretta looks puny compared to our military vehicles.

JS-6.JPG"Forgotten FO"Lt. Jim Hunter...somewhat of a "forgotten FO". We were together for a
few months with "B" 1st 14th. He was attached to some "CIDG's" (Civilian Irregular Defense Group) and he came back for a few months again.

JS-5.JPGBest guess is FSB 34....an unusual FBase...Arty on one end and Infantry at the other. The black-and-white shot makes it look like WWII.

JS-2.JPGHere I Am!Sergeant Joseph Sleevi...St George mid 1969..Assigned to Bravo
Company, 1st 14th from March 1969 to November 1969. I started my tour with A 2/9th in December 1968 on LZ Bridget. The BC at the time Capt Williams asked all the guys with a Commo MOS if they wanted to go out in the field...I volunteered and I think Sgt Winnow did near the same time. I spent a lot of time in the FDC those first few months...It was such an education for me, and Bridget was a slow FireBase....My first FO was Lt Atha, and to be sure, he taught me a lot.
