I was with the 140 heavy equipment Company in 1967 - 1968 and I was there when the ammo Dump blew up and my brothers I thought that all hell had been turned loose. The green and gray tracers were flying everywhere and I can still see the mushroom cloud and still feel the super hot air all over my body and I just knew that I got sober fast and that was the last time I every got drunk in vietnam. A week later I was sent to what they called the 140 contact team and spent the rest of my tour with the 11 Cav out in the field as a wheel and track mech. Can any one remember the 140 contact team? We lived with the Cav and stayed in the field with them and our job was to change or repair engine and tramission where ever the damn thing broke down and at times that was one hard job and many times they broke down in a bad place. Now I am 64 years old and all of my kids are grown and I have grandkids and my only hope is that we with all of our pain and dieing is some how we left a better world for our kids and grandkids. And that in time others will learn from what we went throught and some how make life better for them in the future. Funney the way that time changes the way things are isn,t it. One proud vietnam Viet. Take care brothers and like we use to say in Vietnam, Don,t mean a nothing. Robert Wayne Naron
