Alpha Co, 1st Plt 2nd squad 1st Bn 9th Marines, the Walking Dead. Sept.1966- May 1967
My tags were the only thing I had left after they cut my utilities off to find all my wounds. I still have them, taped,strung on boot laces with a p-38 , and crusted with blood and the dirt of Vietnam. They are on a stone altar in my studio. One of the things in my medicine pouch that is always around my neck is a small bit of my dogtags.
