This book was written by my Battalion Sergeant Major, David Puckett, about a battle at LZ George/Ap Gu that started for me the night before the 31 March-1 April dates of action.
While I was on radio watch/guard duty in my hole I could hear ever so softly something to my front.
When I returned to my sleep area, I COULDN'T.
I kept getting up every 10-15 minutes all night to make sure my relief hadn't fallen asleep.

The next afternoon, we were surrounded.

Our Battalion Commander was Al Haig.
I watched him jump out the passenger side of his bubble chopper BEFORE it went down,
run around behind and into the woodline,
.45 held high
and the guy who'd been shooting up the grass around my confused, wounded-peppered body, was no more.
GOD BLESS AL HAIG AND TOM HANNIGAN. I can still see them.
