"Phouc Vinh - November 21, 1965. It was safe to go into the nearby villages then, so they said, but when I got back to the Battery area after 21/2 hours, boy did I ever get a chewing out by the 1st Sergeant, "where in the hell have you been, you could have been killed!" "Well I said! No one told me how long to stay in Phouc Vien." 'ha'ha'. "
