ALAN, The article I have is the Washington Post's story about the sapper attack Nov.69, but I think your first hand account is more accurate.
I remember being woke up by a burst from an ak47 and going outside the hooch and looking toward the swamp, which by that time was lit up - an orange glow in the sky from the burning helicopters. You were with the guys on top of the bunker firing, I was on the ground outside the bunker - thinking too short for this s---.

By the way, I still have my shorttimers hat , autographed by the guys- On the front it says "mix Gator 108 JUST RIPPED" Gene
