Almost Ambushed
I regret that forty some years I cannot remember all the facts, but what comes to mine is the medevac during the evac of the myself & three others outside of Khe Sanh June 26, 1967, What I can recall is the pilot was killed when we crashed into a mountain, myself & one other survived both of us wounded. We took the 50 caliber off the tripod and worked our away from the crash site. Early in the morning we were almost ambushed by our own. From that point my mind is blank.
I was with India Co. 3rd Bn. 26th Mar.3rdMarDiv.. If there is anyone that served with me or can remember us, please contact me.

I found no Marine crashes for that date, or any close to that date. I know the Army did not use .50's on their birds, so ....... could he possibly have the dates wrong?? I also read this post on Grit's.
