(From David Brown)
My time in the Wolfhounds overlapped Big John's so I was at many of the places he accurately described, In Tay Nihn chasing rockets, FSB Stuart where the 8inch guns made it almost impossible to sleep, FSB Jackson surrounded by booby traps, the HoBo Woods, unlucky Shamrock (more booby traps), the Parrots Beak and the Diamonds. He is correct that we were the "Bait Battalion" sitting on the border astride the main infiltration route from Cambodia to Saigon. Almost every time we went out there the NVA would try to destroy us. When we started building the hardspots the airforce loaded up and got some rest because everyone knew we would get a ground attack at 1am. Good Job John, 3-6 Brown
