4th.ID HHB Divarty

Teams/Camps in SE ASIA: I'm not sure of the camp... I thought it was Plei Do Lim, but we were neer the Cambodian Border off of Highway 19 when it turned into a dirt road. We drove west pasted the compound, crossed the blue line, and went behind the solitary Mt. of Plei Do Lim(?) The mt. that our flash OP overlooked VC Vally. Do you know where it is? Comments: I was WIA on 14, March, 1969 in the Ia Drang Valley, and was retired from Army. Three of the CIDG's (?) were WIA and two were KIA. I think they were Cpl Mooch and Quem (?) Cpl Sonn was WIA befor and med-evaced in Feb. (?)

If you worked w/SF: I worked a LONG time ago with 5th. SF group on a flash out post for HHB 4th. divarty. We were 14 clicks west of Camp Enari and 4 klicks west of a 5th. SF fortified ville, and the SF's trained our Yard (CIDG, or MikesMikes...don't remember) security foece. (12 Yards with M-1 carbines, M79's and even a BAR!) NCOIC was Sgt. Roc, his family and chickens. They also made the most god-afful rice wine! I would like to thank the members of the 5th. SF's who saved out butts many times with their 4 douce morters and twin .50's. We were on their net, and the S3 net back at Camp Enari, also. Thanx Dante'
