The Fight

August 29, 1968

C Co., 2nd Battalion, 1st Platoon, the 199th.

A lot of things happened all at once– the Lt. called out for several men to go forward to bring back wounded and ordered covering fire. I used up my two clips of M-14 ammo—it sounded strange mixed in with the M-16’s and machine gun.  I started taking pictures again down the line.
