Saturday morning chilly with
lots of sunshine. Been up most
of the night after watching twice
movie about two days in 1967.
Not long after I "rotated" home
The Black Lions, 28th Infantry
of 1st Infantry division ran into
major force outnumbering by
10-1. Alpha Company had every
man killed or wounded. Forty four
dead, On the same two days in
Madison, Wisconsin at University
of Wisconsin the students were
beaten by Madison police for
"peacefully demonstrating," to
stop DOW CHEMICAL recruiting.
Hard to see so many Black Lions
laid out on the ground. Westmorland
denied openly that it "was not an ambush!"
Surviving officers said it was.
Story related is the Viet Cong Regiment
was on the way to attack Saigon and was
not to get involved on the way. Units just
"happened to walk into each other!"
That was what was said in November,1966
at Ap Bau Bang. Opened battle by taking
out troop of 16th Mechanized Infantry who
was our left flank. Napalm developed by DOW
helped save the day, for us.................
Racing today at Aqueduct after cancellations
due to snow, rain or fog. Winter racing in N.Y.
Monticello racing no fun either. Back east
weather as tough as genuine leather. That's
why it's called Winter Beast of the East! You
can have my portion.
Might make an appearance tonight at Bell Tower.
Maybe meet young thing flower................
Barry McChangky QUACK!
