I served October 68- October 69..with Co B 2nd Bn 18th Infantry (2/18) 1st Infantry Division. We came in by way of Long Binh..It was @ night but very HOT..humid..I remember vividly how it was difficult to breath the air..the SMELL of death all over,went to a stageging area with tin roofs that was humid and smelly..that same night we moved out to what i found out to be DIAN, on the way driving the highway with no lights all you could hear was BOOM BOOM POP POP POP POP/ TRACERS..Just think this was just STARTERS..(25 Oct) After being in DIAN for a short period (our rear) then to the WATERPLANT..(home)which was in the Thu Doc area @ Hwy 13 (1?) anyways W to Saigon E to Long Bein.
