(January 1970 to January 1971)

I jumped into a bomb crater and pulled our machine gunner down into the crater. He had been wounded and lay exposed on the top of the berm where the NVA could easily target him. Arsenault was incorrectly reported to have done this. My RTO observed this action. Later Arsenault was awarded the silver star for this action and I the bronze star. We all found it amusing that they got it mixed up and even in this document the same mix up (due to using the award citations to as the source of information).

CPT Moore was with my platoon and we reached a location where we would be extracted. We observed NVA in a brushy area approximately 100+ yards from our position and opened fire. After firing up the area, we swept it and during this process SGT Rodriguez was killed and I was wounded again, hit at the elbow. "Commo", my point man and I dragged SGT Rodriguez back to the top of the hill where the CP was located. Rodriguez had a bullet wound to the head. Both of us were taken to Charlie Medic (brigade base camp). I was treated and found the bullet or fragment didn't penetrate. The next day my arm was a rainbow color from wrist to shoulder. 
In this action, we had a friendly fire incident. Members of the command post and platoon had left the perimeter and gone to get water from a nearby stream. CPT Moore and I had no idea these men had left the perimeter. The LOH Pilot flying above thought he observed enemy movement down on the stream and engaged it. This resulted in one US killed and one wounded.

CPT Moore contacted me on the radio and asked that I get men and come to his location. I got three men from my platoon and we crossed over through the artillery position to the 1st Platoon and met with Dwayne James (mortar platoon leader) and CPT Moore. That’s the basis for the comment about "moving to the area of the heaviest fighting."
