Comments: Allen, Thanks for the tip on the unit rosters. As I remember the event, it was a colonel who I dealt with. I thought for a long time that it was Colonel Starry. I talked to him about another matter a few years ago and thanked him for "dusting" me off. He informed me that it could not have been him since he did not fly around in a "loach".I found a picture of the bird that flew me out that one of my track mates took. It took me a while to recognize the fact that the "B" on the bird looked like an "8" because the negative had been reversed.The officer came out to see why we had lost 5 ACAV's ,an AVLB, and a Cev the day and night before. It was on our way to"Jake" on April 2,1970 . It was deemed a "sizeable force" that we had dealt with, But I have never seen the event mentioned on the calendar in spite of the fact that arty from Quan Loi, Cobras, and we [ the 919th ] inflicted 10 KIA. Col.Starry said that the 1st Cav had screwed us out of a lot of documentation [ A Troop ] during that period. I guess if it didn't happen to the mighty 1st it di not matter.It seemed like a big deal to us though.If any can add any info about that event, I'd enjoy hearing about it. Thanks.

Comments: Doug Giesige - I'm fairly sure the B Troop CO was CPT LYNN J HUNT. 1SGT was BENJAMIN ROWE. Unit rosters have been posted recently. Go to "MEMBERS AREA" then select "UNIT ROSTERS". Locate I Troop
