Life is weird sometimes....just got out of the Rain Locker...popped the top on a cold beer...set myself down in front of the Tube and just happened to see Joe Galloway talking about his experiences on Day One of the LZ X-Ray fight (Vietnam HD was the program). He was being interviewed at his home in Refugio, Texas.
The part I caught was where he described two F-100's dropping Napalm on the LZ by mistake and several Engineers being hit by the burning Napalm. He helped carry a young Man named Nakamura to the Casualty Collection Point...and how all he had to hold onto was the bones in Nakamura's legs. Nakamura died two days later.
As Galloway sat on a porch swing he broke down in tears as he related the account....and said "Nakamura is my nightmare!".
No more drinking tonight.....
