SATURDAY MORNING..........................................

 *:| straight faceSaturday 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................
