Fire Bases
We spent most of our down time at different fire bases in the northern mountains of South Vietnam. Although being at a fire base was down time from humping, we still did a lot of work while there. We either fortified fire bases or built new ones, as well as maintained them. Some fire bases we liked and some we didn’t.

Welcome home, I was with “E” co 2/501st the night FB Airborne was overrun. I’m looking for photos or info concerning FB Airborne. Thank you much, Mark
Hey Mark, this is Mike Outwater send me an email.
Hey there,
I am SSG Reiley Reiley and would love to share your stories and pictures on the 3rd Brigade Face Book page. I am the webmaster for the page and I want to share it all with the young Soldiers and and us old dogs too.
Huge fan of all you guys that served in Vietnam and since becoming a RAKKASAN I have deeper respect for Hamburger Hill.
Hi Dave, I would be honored to have you share my stories and pictures. I have a deep respect for all the men and women are serving in the military today, especially those fighting in the middle east. I’m hoping that they can all come home soon. Woody
Have pitcures from 68 69 101 Airborne Co C D E and 70 71 1st Air Cav 1/7 E Co. Dont know how to get them on line.
Hi Guy, I think I can help you with getting the photos online. With my photos I scanned them using a flatbed scanner and then edited them using a photo editing program. I decided to use a blog to them online, as well as trying to tell the stories behind the photos. I can help you with all phases of the process if you would like. Woody
I’m looking for anyone who might have served with me.
