"The top where the cadre tried to drop our supplies and missed badly. Much of the stuff was lost--including ammo and the hot dogs --as a result we roasted marshmallows and hot dog buns with mustard and catsup but no hot dogs. Luckily we had LRP rations (yum!) The guys are beginning to 3 hour search for the stuff that netted little. We built a fire here and stayed the night, shooting, drinking and telling war stories.", 1951-1994
