[QUOTE="coolhandluke, post: 2936396, member: 13284"] Lasher, no one is trolling you or anyone else with this post. There are quite a few members on this site that do carry a special interest in those who served as well as the service weapons and gear that they were issued. You and other Vietnam veterans were done a grave disservice during your time, but there are still people who have the utmost respect for your service and are interested in learning what they can from you. On a separate but related note, could you be so kind as to tell me if you recall the specific helmet that you wore when you landed at Da Nang? Through research I see that quite a few a few Marines were issued solid OD green helmet covers like the ones shown in the photos below. Just wanted to see if that was the case with you or anyone in your unit. I am also interested to hear what other type of covers were primarily being used at this time...Mitchell pattern or USMC "frogskin" pattern covers? Thanks in advance.
