Tripped a 155 round as Point Man
Pfc. Booth was the one who I took over as pointman in the Phu Nauns. Our whole company had just walked a dike and settled in a perimeter digging holes when we were sent out on a squad-sized patrol over that same dike not an hour later. Somebody rigged it up. He died, 3 WIAE, 2 WIA. The 3 WIAE's we never heard from after that. Didn't find out if anyone died, but it sure looked bad. I was the 7th man back. Pfc. Booth had spent the prior 2 days telling me how to walk point and what to look for. That's when they told me I was the new pointman. S/F~Tom Wityak
