IN COUNTRY 65-LATE 66. THERE ALL KINDS OF STORIES RUMORS AND BULLSHIT. I WAS ATTACHED TO 3/3 H&S CO.. I WAS NEVER KNOWN OF. I DID WHAT EVER I WAS TOLD TO . HUMPED AMMO,STOOD POSTS ETC . I WAS ASSIGNED TO GUARD MY COL. COL MUIR ON THE DAY HE WAS KILLED. I HAD JUST GOT BACK FROM A DETAIL HE HAD SENT ME ON CAUSE THE RADIO MAN COULD NOT GET THRU. THE COL. SAID FOR ME TO TAKE A BREAK FOR HE AND THE RADIO MAN WHERE GOING TO TAKE A LOOK SEE. I ADVISED THE OLE MAN THAT I WAS TO BE WITH HIM 24/7. HE ADVISED THAT; "THAT AN ORDER MISTER"!! I WAS NOT ABOUT TO DISOBEY A DIRECT ORDER FROM MY COL..FOR THOSE WHO WHERE THERE THEY KNOW THE REST AND THE ENDING OF THIS STORY. HE NEVER GOT TO GO TO WASHINGTON FOR HIS PROMOTION . TO THIS DAY I WILL NEVER FRGET THAT AND WONDER WHY I DIDNT DISOEY HIS ORDER???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
