One day in late 1966 or early 1967 our battery was setup somewhere (sorry I can't remember where), when several choppers did a fly over.  They turned around and landed near our battery position.  Out comes more Captains and Majors than I've every seen in one place and in the middle of them was Robert Mitchum, the actor.  He saw our battery and wanted to stop in.  So they did.  One of the Captains with him took this picture of him and me.  It's one of my prized possessions.
I'm wondering if any one in Bravo was there that day.

SEMPER FI,
Al
