Hill 485 Just before Christmas 69'

We had a great time on the Hill over looking alligator lake and waited as 3K NVA walked by us a few miles away late one night.

Help. I need a Buddy to confirm I tore my rotator cuff. Any one who saw me or remembers me on the LZ We had a great time on the Hill over looking alligator lake and waited as 3K NVA walked by us a few miles away late one night. Then The resupply. My hand stuck in the gerry can handle and my arm autorotated 360 and what did I do. Nothing and this is the problem. I thought it would heal itself. 50 years later and a little smarted (not much) it has cost me a lot.

Does anyone remember Sgt Don W. Harris who was with 3 others from the HQ com unit out of An Hoa. with a team of Recon from Danang. Please let me know [email protected] or call me ( my dear wife Jamuna) 703 777 1501 or better cell 703 999 6390 any time I'll call you back. I am in Kampala now and that why it is easier to call my home in VA.

Many thanks
