I am searching for any veterans who were in and around the Michelin Rubber Tree Plantation between Cu Chu and Tay Ninh Oct 1970.I was escorting my first convoy through there and ran into ground fire from an ambush .I had only been in country for about 2 weeks and didn't know any of the guys on the convoy.The E-7 who was with me had only 2 weeks left in country,and I can't remember his name.Him and I was with HHC 20th Engineer Brigade at Bien Hoa.The convoy was from one of the engineer units in Long Bien and I don't remember which unit.We had spent the night at the 25th ID at CuChi and the next day we left for Tay Ninh and when we got into the rubber tree plantation all hell broke loose.I was so scared that I left the convoy, and the SFC rolled up like a ball in the floor of the jeep.I found out why he didn't want to go on this trip.We had to wait about 20 minutes for the convoy to catch up with us once we got out of there.If any of you guys were in this area around Oct 1970 and can vouch as to enemy contact I would appreciate hearing from you.Those bastards in Washington don't believe nothing you tell them and when you didn't know where you were at or the guys you were with it's hard to verify anything.And that SFC wasn't taken notes.When you are getting your ass shot at you don't worry to much about taking notes.
God Bless each one Of you Veterans and Bless the one's that didn't make it and their family's.
