Photo taken January 1968 at the base of Black Virgin Mountain, Vietnam. Gen Westmoreland wrote about the mountain in his autobiography. The U.S. never controlled it during the entire war. We were digging bunkers at the base of it (you can see the beginning of the slope in the photo), which was great as far as we were concerned. Hot chow and no humpin the boonies. Just the occasional incoming mortar rounds. The white cloth at the base of it had the 4 names of those of us who were on that position. Two days later two of those names would be dead and two of us were wounded.

Gave a "like" 'cause of the fact that you survived to tell the tale...not for the situation you were in...
Plus the photo is moving...
