The best Scout we ever had in our Platoon was Rudy
Laws
(Right). This guy could get into the thick of things and nothing would
happen.
Always came out smelling like a rose. Teflon Rudy!
My first training runs
along the coast and in the gulf of Tonkin was with Rudy.
Rudy, Remember how wet
the it was in the Gulf and the Sharks. LOL.
Thanks for all the help
Rudy, it helped me get through it.
The other guy in the photo is Ben __?___ . At this
time I
cant remember his last name, we used to call him Bugger Ben.
When this photo
was taken Ben was recovering from a crash.
He cracked a couple ribs and got a
couple teeth knocked out when they crashed and his chicken plate hit
him and
caused all the damage.
But as you can see Ben is getting a little pain relief
from a can of beer.
