Facebook conversation about Dak To - July 2023
I've copied portions of a conversation I found on Facebook, concerning Dak To. CENTRAL HIGHLANDS VETERANS - conversation, July 15, 2023 Joseph Barreiro Dak To 1967 A CO 3/12 4th inf div Now that's a bunker ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Comments --------------- Ernie Camacho My buddy Tom Scott mentioned my website, daktomemories.com. If it is OK, I'd like to add this conversation to the website. I want young folks who think of RVN as ancient history to see that for some of us it is very much still present in our lives. Doyle Womack Yes it was!!! David Mcintosh All u guys were at Dak to in November 67 hats off to all u,I was in and out of there all the time at the air base,not a grunt my unit took the shells mostly 155s to the guns by runway there,I rode up on the gun trucks all the time from Pleiku,all I can say is u all deserve a lot more than u got,that place was a mess we ran 24 hrs 7days a week at one time,I remember a Huey laying by the runway around that time a guy told me took one from a 122,always wondered if that was the story behind it?I also remember the Russian tank was there I wasn’t there when the B 52s came in but remember watching it from Pleiku,thanks for posting it it’s good and bad I guess I remember seeing all the guy’s going home in nets which was the worst day of my year in the war for me,all could think of was all the families back home just before Christmas that had that happen to them,bless all u from 4th 173rd,Cav,101st,u guy’s really stood up for America,just my opinion but wanted to let you guys know,88th trans Pleiku 67 68! Dan Sanford David Mcintosh, I think I was on the same convoy David. David Mcintosh Dan Sanford, Could Be bro we were in same hood over there at same time across the road were we all lined up was where I worked in a a small motor pool,I would be easy to find I was the only guy never wore a ball cap,hated wearing a hat then. William Mee David Mcintosh I was there at Dak to 67-68. Fourth infantry, division, military police . we met the convoy from Pleiku, which was led by 4th division MPs also. I always thought the guys that drove in those convoys were Braves son of a bitches too David Mcintosh William Mee, Welcome Back,most of them thought I was nuts because I could have stayed there a not go on them ,I went on all I could,patrols,anything would get out of the motor pool,think that’s why they called us young and dumb and full of something,only 18 then,one of the few I missed is when my bunk was KIAed in Kontum in May of 68,he left me the youngest in unit,think only the good die young maybe,he was a short timer then,think of him all the time anyway bunch of good guys a little routty,think we got kicked off base for fighting right after that moved us to An khe I heard u May know more about that than me since u were with MPs,I was at the Hope show u guys had in late 67 so we were around the 4th a lot,may have met who knows I was always on the gun trucks when I went up there. Mel Potter David Mcintosh, I rode shotgun on convoys between Pleiku and Dakto and a few times up to Ben Heit.Long story how I ended up doing that. David Mcintosh Mel Potter, What year were you there?
