Did your friend live or succumb to his wounds?
Died in the tower in the background.Rich Gideon Long Island. NY., I carried him down. Kontum Jan. and Feb 1968. Lost two more in the bunker under the tower to a small recoiless rifle in the 40mm to 50mm range. John Rodriguez, Santa Maria . CA. Didn't know the last guy, from a unit that took shelter with us. I just remember he was young and brave as hell. Lost an ear next to me to AK or RPD round. It just made him pissed off. Second night of TET.
