| A medivac during Operation Oklahoma Hills. Also below. I'm almost sure this was on day 2 or three of the operation. We had someone fall out from the heat or something. I think that is me on the left in the upper picture and on the right on the lower one. |

| On April 5, 1969, about the 5th day of Operation Oklahoma Hills we had several men wounded by rockets. We had stopped for a couple of days on a ridge. There was a 500 pound bomb crater there that we used it for garbage. When we got ready to leave it was burned. The propellant in one of the rockets buried there went off, but not the explosives. It threw burning stuff over a bunch of guys. Most of the wounds were relativly minor, though painful. Sgt Arthur Meru, 1st platoon's platoon sergeant, was burned fairly badly in the face. I remember talking with some guys about whethere or not he would lose his vision. He was located in July 2004 and was fine. |
