Comments: I am reaching out to anyone who may have been involved in a battle with me. Date was September 7, 1969 near An Loc in a rubber plantation. It was where Lt. Fox and SFC Thomas were wounded. Lt. Fox was rescued to my Acav. Need information concerning Thomas. The med vac was coming in and shot down. The two pilots were rescued and placed in my Acav. CPT. Firestone was the commander of M company. I visited with him on the phone today, 48 years, of course he doesn't remember me, but he remembers that day. He would not help me in any way in a personal matter that I have proposed with him. I am filling a claim against the VA and turning in tons of paperwork to help support my claim. If you were there and remember Lt Fox getting hurt, please PM me so I can see if there are events that you may add. I also am in touch with Fox and he is helping me too.
Please go to 919th combat engineers Facebook Page where you will see photos that I included in my post.
