I remember that morning 2plt left our position, we were line up waiting for orders to move out. I was the first person in line. A few minutes after 2plt went up the hill which was to our front and to our left, they started receiving incoming fire. We could hear it real well. I don’t know why or what I was thinking. I didn’t wait for any orders. I told Cotton and someone else to crab their weapons and ammo, leave the packs. Cotton told me to go fuck myself and telling me how crazy I was. But then he was quick to follow. I don’t remember anything from that time till I was standing at the top of the hill. I had a defensive position on very top of the hill on the far side. The same side that the Skyhawk`s drop napalm. I don’t remember were Cotton went or the other person that was with us coming up the hill. At one time New York was at my position, but he also left. I was standing there and everything seem to have com down. When a person approach my position. At first I thought it was New York. The person was in uniform, all green. Then I realized, He was a north Vietnam regular. After screaming for him to put his weapon down and hands up, in Vietnamese. He raise his weapon and the rest is History. I blow him away. A couple guys ran to my position. Got them to cover me and I went out and recover something`s. Got my second North Vietnamese gook web belt in just a couple days. The position I held was to the rear of our night position. Jack
