I thought it was the USS Dubuque although we were on the Duluth also so I may be wrong. I was with Hotel 2/26. I had a terrible infection in my ankle and fortunately did not make the beginning of the op into the DMZ. I rejoined my platoon just after the mortar attack at Margo. I ended up riding that sucker to the Philippines and we were struck by a typhoon. What a ride! I never want to go through that again! Everybody on that ship was so seasick. I had to tie myself into the rack. If you tried to stand, the rolling of the ship would throw you down or you would slip and fall in the puke all over the deck.

He was my best friend's father and just died last week from cancer. At the memorial yesterday I noticed a newspaper clipping about him participating in this operation so I had to look it up.
