Subsonic Did you happen to Know Willie Oxendine?
Is/was he in the Army and what unit?
Sneakylong "He was assigned to the 9th Infantry Division in Vietnam, where he served as forward observer, aerial observer, and Assistant S-3 with 2nd Battalion, 4th Field Artillery. He also served as Fire Direction Officer and Fire Support Officer with 5th Battalion (mechanized), 60th Infantry during this tour."
@Sneakylong I spoke to my RTO in our platoon today and he knew of Tommy Franks but no direct interaction only via radio. The 5th of the 60th (Mech.) was one of the arty. units we called in our fire missions.
Pic, I have of one of their M107 tracked carriers with a 4 deuce mortar.
Better explanation.
