Thanks to Terry, Rick and Richard for answering my message. I have tossed this question around for years and as I get older I feel like I would like to do something. The fire fight was in late Jan right after Tet. I believe Terry was talking about the same battle. I was the 3rd platoon medic, it was my first fire fight and as we rolled down the road I heard a huge explosion and all the guns began firing. I saw the lead tank burning and jumped off the track and broke a bone in my right foot. Never felt the pain, to tell the truth I was proably so scared I counld not feel anyting. I got to Sgt Williams and found him on the ground with part of his leg gone. I was working on him when two VC came out to see me and the 39 tank pulled up and took care of them. I tried several times to get on the burning tank but could not get to the hatch because of the fire and the rounds inside the takn wer exploding. I believe the drivers name was Beach, but I do not remember the two fellows inside the tank. Does someone know their names? I would like to fine their names on the wall. I would also like to know the TC for the 39 tank that more than likey saved my life. I think his first name was Michael, he was a big fellow and was a staff Sgt. Can someone give me the address to view the radio journals or daily reports. Thanks guys
