I was Fourth Platoon Leader(Bac Lieu) from about May 66 to Nov 66. Did you serve under Sgt McCoy?

Bac Lieu

By Herbert Phillips, 1/17/2006

I was in Bac Lieu about Aug./Sept.1965.I had a short stay before going on to Rach Gia as a crew chief.One assignment I'll never forget is flying to Soc Trang to pick up our first new jeep,then driving it back to Bac Lieu behind a Viet Namese convoy,alone.
