And my Platoon Sgt. John Bezecny whose name rests on the Brigade Memorial at Fort Benning GA. He was killed the same day I was wounded during the TET II battles of May 1968 south of Saigon at the little unheard of hamlet called Tan Than where my company of 96 men walked into a battalion size ambush of 400 NVA regulars. Note: took 3 days but we kicked their tulips killing more than 250 of them.

His unit, 1st Signal Service Platoon (Special), was the US militarys first electronic counter-measure unit. They utilized radar jamming equipment, Dad was a steel tower rigger having been a telephone lineman before being drafted. First deployment was to the Aleutian Islands after the Japanese invasion there. Then it was off to North Africa and Corsica for a while. Back to the states for a break then it was Iwo Jima in late February of '45. Uncle Eddie served in the Coast Guard.
