Sapper damage at Di An, October 13, 1971.
No flight line perimeter lights made it easy for sappers to sneak in
and do the deed. Crash and rescue guys could not fight
fire because the fire truck had no operational pumps.

Monster
A German Shepard cross...big with curled feral tail and
drooping eye from one of many fights....none of which he
lost from June 1971 to February 1972. Most folks at
Tay Ninh and Di An during this time will recognize
Monster. He had a no problem hopping on a UH-1 as
long as he was invited. Monster was an important
part of company life.
