I was with the 3rd Bn 4th Marines at Phu Bai 1966 to 1967.
Our Unit was on the cover of Time Magazine when the Ch47 was shot down over
our position. Would like to hear from some one that was there.

Thanks.

I served with The Americal Div, HHC 11 Light Infantary Brigade on Fire Base Bronco or LZ Bronco near Duc Pho from March 1970 to April 1971 with air recon
unit called Primo Avn. I was one of the crewchiefs,scout,mechs. I do not know what happened to all the scouts and pilots and I can not find anything about the unit I was in. I have photos, orders, etc. so I know I was there because I was wounded and spent 2 1/2 months in the hospital and went back to combat to serve my full tour. I know Primo Avn was not part of The 174 AHC, We did not have a Frist Sargent, but reported directly to TOC and CSM and The Brigade Commander, Col Barlow. I know our main mission was to look for the enemy
bring him out in the open and capture if at all possible. Dan Aiken,Us Army, Retired(DAC) ps: Primo if You are out there give me a call 541-376-8460 anytime.
