//Tom Ling I was with the 2/13th arty from 6 mar 67 till 27 feb 68. I was the a-gunner then gunner on gun #1 of A battery. We were in 8' elephant grass during the Tet offensive, the 5 ton ammo truck pulled up with our rounds for the evening. We asked "how many do we get", the answer was "the whole load". During the next several days we received several more loads, we fire vollies all night and most ao the naex day. Of the six guns we started with only four were capable of firing the next afternoon. I started out as a-gunner then had to switch to gunner after i caughtthe recoil of a "charge 7", (my fault I reached for the breech block handle before I pulled the lanyard). I was the gunner and I am not exactly sure the date when we were stationed at a little base between Phu Loi and saigon,(can't remember the name), after "H I" rounds ( harrasment and interdiction)we were told to shift to counter motar settings. We were told Phu Loi was being rocketed. After we shifted, we were told to shift back and continue "H I" mission. This happened on three successive firings. After the last set of rounds went out, we heard a command from our training days at Ft. Sill. "Rear of the piece - Fall in". After checking out settings and bubbles for level the FDC Exec told us to stand down. The rocketting on Phu Loi was us. We had been on the right co-ordinates, the problem was in the powder charge. Oue rto received and recorded a charge "7", the FDC claimed they requested a charge "4". We were the only battery during my time in country to be involved in a "friendly fire" incident that I have ever been aware of. We as a gun crew were completely exonerated of any wrong doing, we had a two star come share "cool-aid" with us the next day. He assured us that the incident was not our fault. He complimented us on our tight shot groups. Apparently all 5 of our rounds on each volly were some of the tighest shot goups anyone had ever seen from a 105. The problem was that each volly landed just outside, or just inside the fence at out own battalion maintenance unit. I am not sure of the exact count but I do know there were several injured and some fatal. I do not remember the unit or the exact dates, maybe that is best. The FDC exec got promoted, no one in our gun section was held accountable. I have not been able to find anything on this incident, maybe that is a good thing. If anyone reading this was in the area at the time and has more info I would like to know more exacting details. If you had a loved on killed or injured because of it please accept my appologies. I was just doing my job, I don't remember much of it, but then maybe that is a good thing. |

JOHN CANNICI AND COL. TANK WAS OUR COMMANDER OF THE BN. WE WENT THUR TET OF 67-68 TOGETher( COMMACHE SECTOR )OF PHULOI FIRE BASE. IT SEEM LIKE COWBOYS AND INDIANS TO ME AT FIRST. DURING THE DAY WE WENT OUT SIDE THE FORT AND DURING THE NIGHT WE WOULD RECEIVE ROCKET AND MORTOR ATTACHS. YOU SOON KIND OF GOT TO THE POINT THAT YOU REALLY COULD CARE LESS IF YOU LIVED OR DIED. MY SECOND TOUR WAS WORST AT CAMP EAGLE ATTACHED TO THE 101 ST AIRBORN. THEN MOVING TO THE ROCKPILE(VANDERGRIFT) AND KAHSANH FROM DEC 70-MAY OF 71. GOING THUR SEVERAL SAPPER ATTACKS.FUEL DUMP ABOUT 200 YRDS FROM ME AND MY 18 MEN BEING BLOWN BY SAPPERS.AND THE FINAL STRAW WHEN THEY BLEW OUR AMMO DUMP ABOUT 150 YRDS FROM US. I LOST 1 KIA,TWO BADLY WOUNDED AND SEVERAL WITH PTSD AFTER IT WAS ALL OVER. I THINK WE WERE THE LAST CONVOY OUT AS THEY WERE OVER RUNNING HUE AS WE CAME THUR. I HAD AWRECKER AN M-88 AND SEVERAL LOW-BOYS910 TON DRAGON WAGON AND A PLT.OF MARINES TO HELP US CLEAR CONVOYS AT THE ROCKPILE. WE ALSO HAD A SMALL REPAIR SHOP SET UP AT VANDERGRIFT.I COMBAT LOSSED A LOT OF VEHICLES ON THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD TO LOAS AND WE CALLED IT MORTOR ALLEY BY THE ROCKPILE.I PUSHED A FEW OFF THE MOUNTAIN TRAIL GOING TO KAHSAN . THE ROCK PILE.I THINK WAS THE DEADLY SPOT. CHARLEY WOULD WALK HIS MORTORS DOWN THE CENTER OF THE ROAD UNTILL HE HIT A VEHICLE TO STOP THE CONVOY. THEN IT WAS A TURKEY SHOOT FOR HIM TO GET MORE VEHICLES. AND THE ELEPHANT GRASS WAS TALLER THAN THE TRUCKS AND YOU COULDN'T SEE ANY THING TO SHOOT AT. HIDE AS BEST AS YOU COULD AWAY FROM YOUR VEHICLE IF YOU GOT HIT. PART OF OUR STORY WAS JUST IN THE LEGION MAGAZINE AND THEY WROTE A BOOK ABOUT IT CALLED "DEWEY CANYO II LAMSON 719.I WAS THERE FOR IT ALL. MAY 71 I WAS SENT BACK TO THE STATES AND WAS REASSIGNED TO HHC AT FT BLISS,TX FOR TREATMENT AT THAT HOSPITAL.I RETIRED IN 1979.WAS RECALLED AT 51 IN 1991 FOR PERSIAN GULF WAR AS A SURVIAL ASSISTANCE OFFICER AT ABERDEEN,MD.I DIDN' HAVE TO REPORT AS THERE WERE TO FEW KIA'S AND I COULD NOT REALLY PASS THE PHYSCIAL AT THE VA HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF MY LUNGS,HEART,PADS,ANDTO MUCH STEEL IN MY BODY FROM SURGERYS.

| My original orders were to be stationed at Vung Tau. Vung Tau is a resort town in the province of Dong Nai 125 km from Saigon. This is an area where many military personnel went to take R&R (vacation) for a short time. When I first arrived in Vietnam it was in Saigon. By way of an armor covered windowed bus, I arrived at Long Binh to process in country. I was at Long Binh for about a week awaiting my new orders. I first received orders to be sent to Na Trang to work as a helicopter crew chief/mechanic (MOS 67N10 (basic helicopter mechanic) & 67N20 (advanced helicopter crew chief/mechanic)). I worked at Na Trang for three weeks on pouring concrete and special construction projects. I then received my final orders to be stationed at Phu Loi to work in my MOS 67N20 - advanced helicopter crew chief/mechanic. The Phu Loi base camp is approximately 30 miles north of the capital Saigon. We worked 7 days a week 12 hour shifts. For a few months I worked the 12 hour night shift, then I would be switched to the day 12 hour shift. We were permitted to attend church on Sunday mornings for one hour. I never missed church and always went with a friend from my company. While in Vietnam I saw Billy Graham, Bob Hope at a special secured USO assembly area about 10 miles from Phu Loi. Also, four times we had USO shows at our base camp. One late night, coach Woody Hayes visited our base camp when I was working the 12 hour night shift. I was working with my crew on the top of a UH1D Huey helicopter when I saw a person dressed as an officer, but with no rank identification. Woody said hello and ask if he could talk to me. I said sure I will come down to talk. Woody said please stay up there, that will be just fine. Woody ask me if I knew who he was and I said no. Woody introduced himself as the OSU football coach from Columbus. Woody ask me my name, where I lived and wanted to know if it would be OK that he contact my family. He wanted to let my family know that I was OK and that we talked briefly. I gave Woody the information he needed including the phone number and name of our Mother. He promised he would contact Mother as soon as he returned to Columbus, and he did. Mother wrote me and told me she talked with coach Woody Hayes. I did get to see Vung Tau one time when our helicopter maintenance officer flew several of us to the Vung Tau beech for an afternoon visit. We used one of our company helicopters for the trip.
