Comments: I was the LT that traded my Stetson for your Chicom SKS. I did not buy a new Stetson when I got home as planned. I sure do miss the Beercan medal that went with my hat. You don't happen to have another one do you?

Comments: Thanks for sharing your amazing pictures. I served with 180th Big Windy many years later. 1985 through 1992. It was 180th until the Army decided to reorganize sometime in 88 and we became Aco. 5/159th Avn Regt.
Comments: I have a question. From where did the Lancers that supported Firebase Ripcord operate? I ask because I'm including this in a novel I'm writing and want to keep the historical components of the story accurate.
The link is to the Amazon page to show the book's cover. It's going through major rewrites at present.
My intent is to keep alive, in America's mind, the service and sacrifices of so many so long ago. In this story I also honor the missing with a minor but important part of the story.
Thank you to all who served in that distant land.
