| Taken by Jim Whalen. Joe Bonifas firing his M-60 while at Cobb Bridge. If you look carefully you can see three shell casings in the air. Even though our life in Vietnam could be pretty hard we did what we could to bring culture and a touch of home to help us through the day. Thus the various wall hangings you see above. |

| Lt. Lloyd Lindsey. According to Mike Ramey, Lt. Lindsey was they nephew of Senator Evertt Dickson. He currently lives in Louisania and is a school superentendent. Don't know where this was taken. |

| Bath time at Cobb Bridge. Often we would just wear our uniforms into the water and wash them while they were on us. Sort of a two-for-one kind of a thing. Most of the time we stunk to high heaven. It wasn't too uncommon to go a week or ten days without cleaning up or changing clothes. From mid August until the end of January 1970, when Golf company was doing thirty days out and five days in you wouldn't change clothes at all since you only had the one set. Maybe one or two chances to bathe a month might come along. |
