For the last six months of my tour I was the Province S0. The Province Senior Advisor was Richard Parkinson and the Deputy was LTC Ernest Peixotto. My first counterpart was Dai Uy Bao Tan, a nephew of the Emperor Bao Dai. An Loc was an active location and at times the 0st Inf Div, 0st Cav Div and 00th ACR all had elements in the Province. The 0/0 Inf Bn from the 0st ID occupied the Fire base at the airstrip for much of my tour. They were a great outfit and their presence did much to reassure us. Upon arriving in-country for my second tour I was assigned as a District Senior Advisor in the Delta. While processing thru Saigon I ran into a college classmate who worked in assignments. I asked that he change my assignment to An Loc since I was vary familiar with all of the villages and hamlets. He refused and at the end of my first tour the Easter Offensive and the Battle of An Loc occurred. The JUSPAO advisor at An Loc, Norb Koziatek,and I have been neighbors in the Atlanta area for many years. The description of the Battle of An Loc provides a great history of a major chapter of the War. My thoughts are often with those I served with and the many heros that I never met."
