Jim Hardin
I joined Co B, 2/12 INF just shortly before departing Fort Lewis. I came over with the 3rd BDE on the USNS Nelson Walker in September of 1966.
Jim also contributed several maps and articles about Dau Tieng and Suoi Tre. Continue scrolling to see them:
C/2/22 took heavy causalities during the Cease Fire Period of Tet of 1967. As a result I asked to be transferred to the 22nd, arriving in February, 1967.
After 2 nights in base camp completing paperwork & equipment issue, I was flown out to the field with evening chow.
I met CPT George White III (deceased 1/12), and took out an ambush patrol that night.
Shortly after Soui Tri, I was transferred under the DEROS Program, which was to break up the 3rd BDE
so that all 3,000 would not all leave on the same day at the same place.
I served with some great people and have many happy memories.
