1st
Sgt. Carl Stanford, Phu Bai, 1968. Of course, there were
not many Marines like Top Stanford. He was (and is) the best. I
was fortunate enough to be able to work with him in the office for
part of my tour, until he rotated. I was medevacced from Hue City
in late February and happened to be at the base in Phu Bai when
Top needed a file clerk who could type. I got that job and I also
got to drive Top's jeep. Fun. However, there were some scary moments,
like when we moved from Phu Bai to An Hoa. I was sitting in the
jeep with two sick bay commandos in the back, Top was talking to
another officer, the convoy was getting ready to move out, and Top
says, "We'll take point!" Submitted
by Dick Fromm (1967-1968).

Tom
Ladner, The Rocket Man, 1968. I would really like to
shake hands with Tom Ladner. He was my best pal. We were in weapons.
He was a rocket man, I was a machine gunner. We always talked about
having a duel. I wanted to open fire at 1000 meters, he wanted to
go 10 paces back to back. Submitted by
Dick Fromm (1967-1968).
