KHAM DUC early 1967 by Michael C. Samples, With 20th TASS I was an E-4 who loaded rockets, fuel and went along for the ride, and did what ever else that was needed. |
 Det A-105, across runway was SOG's camp and beyond that was a village. |
 Camp
A-105. Note when I was there in Aug 70, this place was blown to hell,
nothing remained standing-RLNOE |
 Two
Army SOG & 1 AF on Right side and center & Left. Please if you can ID anyone
of these guys, let me know. Note the Tattoo on the chest of the guy in the
center forefront |
This de er
was shot from Helo between Dak To and Kham Duc |
 CCS RECON CO taken in July 70 shortly after they closed the Salem House to US team. I think it goes like this-->(Unknown (standing)- (Fast Eddie, standing), (Babyson [David Davison KIA 10/5/70], kneeing), (Steve Pletcher, kneeling), (Pete Nimtze, kneeeling), (POP Taylor, kneeling), (Capt. Hall, kneeling), (Sonny Franks, kneeling), (Pappy Reed, Standing), (me, standing), (you, kneeling), (Lancelot, standing) and finally, last on right, John (?????) killed himself by blowing his head off, was from HALO, arrived with Billy Waugh.by Bill Coughlan @ [email protected] Hall kneeling behind POP Taylor. Although I think you are
mistaken about Pappy Reed. Pappy was the 1SGT of 2nd Co at that time and
SFC Don Reed was our Actting 1SGT after Joe Brock left and before 1SGT Loft
came in. And, you are correct about Tony Appleton, who was (technically my
11) on RT Plane although he never ran a mission with us. Ben was on his
extension leave when this picture was taken. I joined him in Bangkok
shortly after this picture was taken and when we got back, Tony had half of
RT Plane in HALO School, Hall had left and I took Back row - R to L second and third are, I think, Major James Asente and Major Willis Jones. RogerCraft@aol.com would appreciate anyone else to chime in to fill in the
blanks or correct or errors. |

 Picture of the club at FOB2. Don (Dave)
Davidson and Mike Williams are in the photo which makes the date probable
very late Oct 1968, just after Mike and Jimmy Marshall got back from looking
for and finding NVAguns in Laos. |
 Right
before I left (31 Oct as I recall), there was areal party behind the RT barracks next to the bunkers. Some serious imbibing was the order of the day. Here Don (Dave) Davidson ... later (I heard) a SGM. Again not/NOT one of the Bull Shiters. |
 Party
on 31 Oct 1968 at FOB 2. think the guy talking is SFC Dennison??? not sure
of the names. |
 Jimmy
Marshall and a SSG who went on the mission to look for the guns. Pic taken
at the 31 Oct party right after RT Delaware returned from the mission. RT
Delaware was led by Mike Williams, Jimmy was 1-2... Rodriques was on a shake
down training mission with Delaware. |
 In
September 1968 we all were ordered to improved ourassigned bunkers. RT Delaware went down to the old 4th inf compound 4 miles down the road and scrounged 8" beams and sacks of grenades. We Built this bunker with a Sand bag berm behind it. In every alert, senior officers would cluster there because of the protection. |
