To hgreen. we probably knew each other. I knew SGT. castro also. I was in the third platoon and moved from camp evans and helped build LZ BILLY. I was in the firefight that killed our captain.

Hi Steve. I am happy to hear from you. I have a picture of me and SFC Castro at Camp Evans in ’68. I am quite sure we knew each other. SPC Mott was the platoon medic if I am not mistaken. Willie Brown was the M-60 gunner. Kenneth Citelli was a squad leader, so was James Poole. Were you with the platoon during a period of heavy rain when we were stranded for perhaps a week in the foothills around Camp Evans? I don’t remember our first sgt’s name however, I believe he and another trooper brought supplies on a ”mule” to our position in the hills.
Who was the slender rifleman with blond hair and a moustache? There was another member of the platoon who was well know for chasing down one of our adversaries and dispatching him with a .45. This happened prior to my arrival and I can’t remember his name. I also met CPT Meara’s brother LTC John Meara in Montgomery when he attended a career school at Maxwell AFB. He invited me for dinner where I met his lovely wife. Sir, if you read this thanks again for an outstanding dinner.
Steve, my phone number is in a tweet I sent you. If you have the time give me call one of these days
