The Mighty Ninth

Strive To Reach The Summit

O Tannenbaum?
I'm on the left, Ken Fogel, middle, and at right was Zastrow, I recall. I believe he was shot on perimeter guard duty at Duc Pho, sent home and recovered later. A very likable fellow with a great sense of humor. I think he was from Wis/Minn area. I preferred to eat C's in the field- even often at Duc Pho/Montezuma. But in this case, somebody sent us canned goods from back home and we were FEASTING!  I got hit with something from a truck that had exploded (probably from a booby trap) along the way. From that time on, I wore my flack jacket and  steel pot... because those wonderful things are what absorbed whatever hit me and save my life!  Here, as we eat from the cans, Fogel is attempting to teach us a song in German!
