I woke up at 2 am, the pillow was too wet to sleep on. I wasnt so much dreaming as I was remembering the thoughts and feelings I had the day of April 19th, 1968 when that damned 122 rocket kept whistling in, louder and louder. I remember thinking it was going to be real close and it just kept on coming. It really rattled my brain around. Then I checked my e-mail for the first time in 3 days and Milton Hoch had sent me a picture either he or Randy Shierman had taken of the blown up rocket round. I dont think they knew at the time it was the one that got me but took it because of all the damage it did to the jeeps and the water buffalo (tank) that was parked on the road/chopper pad. Odd that the two things were almost simultaneous, my thinking about it and the e-mail. All the scars are healed, cant tell where it hit me except for the memories.
