| JOHN FRASER Veronica Fraser MOS: 64B20 Served: Jan. 5, 1968. I was a mechanic in the 104th. I spent time in Long Binh, Tay Ninh, French Fort, Katum, and Cu Chi. E-mail: Fohmygosh@aim.com Address: 4129 Council Oak Rd Las Cruces, New Mexico 88011 Phone: (575)680-2675. Comments: Copied from an old e-mail dated March 19,2005 I arrived on Jan. 5th, 1968 and I spent a little time in Long Binh and then caught up with the unit in Tay Ninh, I was there a few days and then went to French Fort. That's where I was when the 1968 Tet Offensive began. We got cut off for 12 days, that was a pretty wild time. I then was sent up to Katum, which was a couple of miles from the Cambodian border. My first 4 or 5 months were the heaviest. We finally settled into Cu Chi and stayed in that area for the remainder of my time. When I arrived we had 48 5-ton Dumps and when I left on Jan. 1, 1969 we had 24. The unit must have grown after I left. I think we only had 2 platoons. You had a total of over 80 trucks. I live in Gilroy Ca, the Garlic Capital. John Fraser John Fraser, J.B. Carpender, Jimmy Milligan, Philip Rink, Kerry Millick and Dave VanWinkle are all close friends and still keep in touch every year. |
