Gary "Hollywood" Baker---- 1st Platoon, B 1/22 1970

 

 

Antenna pole................lightning struck it
and landed right on top of my head !

 

Mine and Melvin's position on FB Terrace
where we got struck by lightning, then thunder
That's my helmet under antenna pole.
The thunder disintegrated our sandbags.

 

Brothers dancing a victory jig after lightning strike

 

 

View from me and Melvin's position on Terrace
Fog rolled in on river like a long white snake --
every morning at 10 a.m. -- ended at 2 p.m.

 

Badon and ?
one or two positions left or right
of me and Melvin
