.............to
all my "brothers" who remember the night patrols, night ambushes,
listening posts, even manning the perimeter. Those sleepless nights
filled with fear, even when your hole was filled with a weapons crew.
Everything seemed to be always moving and playing havoc with your mind.
Those "pop up" illums that went on all night and "Puff" with it's
constant hum of tracers filling the night sky.
The distant sound of artillery on a "fire mission." The grenades thrown
to the sound of the rustling palms so as not to give away your
position. And the password so well memorized. "Nobody ever enjoyed nor
appreciated a sunrise more than us," as we straggled down the hill for a
cup of hot joe or reentered the lines and felt the safety within the
perimeter. Memories that will forever remain and never fade. Love my
"Band of Brothers and Sisters." Ooooooorah and Semper Fi. Monsoon
