Davis arrived in Vietnam 1968 and was assigned to 1st Platoon.. He presently lives in Mason City, IA.
Everyone was talking about all the casualties that A Company was having. I just arrived as a replacement They loaded me in a Huey and flew me to the field.
We were about to sweep a village. I was on-line next to Turnley. I asked him if he thought it was a hot village. He said, “we would soon find out”. I told him I just arrived and they had only given me three magazines of ammo. He said not to worry. If I needed more, there would be plenty of dead bodies to get ammo off.
