I was at Marble Mt. MAG-16 ..4-1968 to 2-1969 (HMM 361 Then with H&MS-16..lots of time with Zulu company..perimeter guard and some patrols)..
When my mother passed away in 1993..my dad gave me some of the letters I wrote home from my stint in the Marine Corps. Including from Vietnam...I took them to my DAV and they made copies sent them in as stressors..
I had rocket/mortar attack dates, guys I knew who were killed or wounded..(Villalobos, Bustos, and a kid named Plamer..others) I also had times when I was on perimeter guard and received sniper fire....
I going show dates and incidents that I have from letters I wrote home. Pass them on if you want..good luck bros.
