Hi Rick. I often wondered what happened to the old M14. It had the barrell hacksawed off with a grease gun flash suppressor attached to what was left just in front of the gas plug, a bipod and a pistol grip with a full auto switch installed and a starlight scope mount. I still have a photo or two of the thing. You are right, it was an M14A1E1 TOE squad automatic weapon issued to troops in Korea at the time. It came from the engineers in Wonder Beach after some slick trading. John Osgood jrosgood@earthlink.net

Art Reynolds?? You went by Alfie and liked to scare the hell out of everyone when you took the blasting cap out of a hand grenade, then you droped it with the pin out,you liked to watch every body run!!! Patrick I was right beside you on the B troop VTR when the chopper hit the C rats at Vandergriff, were you the cook that kicked the windsheild out of the chopper??
If any of this rings a bell, contact me at rustyrkb60@yahoo.com

Richard Block. Are you the SSG Block with 2nd plt. A Troop in Bien Hoa during Tet? I think you had several wounded on board. My recollection is that we helped Harper through your rear door and you were already crowded. I think I caught a ride with someone else because you were so full. I also seem to remember that you also got hit about that same time? Do I have it right or is my "fog" getting thicker?
