Christmas
1966
We arrived at Dau Tieng November 24th, the day after
Thanksgiving, on the heels of Operation Attleboro.
After a month of exhausting patrolling in the area surrounding
our new base camp, we were given four days off, Dec 22, 23, 24, 25.
The Vietcong didn't take the holiday off as Christmas evening
they rained 200 mortar rounds into the base, resulting in 44
casualties but none killed.
