February 3, 1968
| The following took place February 3, 1968. The paratroopers in the chopper were from the 1st platoon. James B. Brandon was killed, the first soldier of A Company killed by enemy fire. No one else was hurt, a few of us did get leeches from the wet rice patties. When the Chinook took off every one was aboard except one soldier who was left behind. He was rescued by another chopper.
