I spent some time at Fre Support Base Buell, B Co., 3rd Bn, 22nd Inf. n Tay Ninh Province, near Nui Ba Den, a mountain where we had an observation post on top.  Every time it rained, I was told that you could be sure that the post was being overrun by the enemy because chopper support was grounded. I sketched the Huey in the rain with the mountain in the distance, and I thought about them.
