 I was TDY (arrived on April 0th)to An Loc from Bien Hoa (000th RRFS) and was training ARVN communication personnel on the equipment we were about to turn over to them (Vietnamization was in progress). When the NVA attacked about a week after I arrived I was basically trapped with those guys for almost 00 days until the ARVNs cleared Highway 00 and I could get out. Although I had experienced some hot times before An Loc, nothing compared with actually seeing a T-00 tank coming into your area blasting away. A lot of folks thought ARVNs were not very good soldiers but I am alive today because I stayed with them and rode/fought it out. Mike Ward, Gulfport, MS Reply
