Dear Goose & People, 24 MAR - SAT
I haven't heard from anyone in so long I wonder if you're all still there. No one writes - Wish to hell someone would - Can't be that busy.
Things seem always to get worse, never better - Monsoon's are here & it's miserable. Always wet - heat & humidity are terrific.
Today, started out on Convoy to Tay Ninh about 8:00. At about 9:00, at a place called Trang Bang we were ambushed - They did a good job - Blew up several trucks & blew up the track I was on. We had to come back to base camp. We had one wounded.
Last week, a rocket killed two guys from our unit - I had to pick up the pieces - One guy was a pretty good friend - Made me sick but - ??
Only 84 days to go but it seems like a life time. Seems like I've been here all my life & never will come home - Guess I won't believe it when I do.
I get so damned homesick sometimes - like a little kid.
Well, what's the action there?
SDS taken over Wash. yet?
Bro still balling the teenagers?
Maggot still drinking Borbon & Coke?
What's Tango November Echo doing?
I'm not taking an R&R. Too much in the way of Stereo equipment to buy.
PLEASE SOMEBODY WRITE
Randall
