Last Updated: March 20, 2021 << Added Photo-03B
These photographs were from 1st Force Recon Company after our move from Danang and arriving at An Hoa, in Base Area 112, on December 11, 1968 under command of Major R.E. Simmons. You would think we were going on R & R, from the smiles on our faces but then again I don't think most of us knew what a tough area of operations we were moving into. Sgt. D.B. Thompson, Patrol Leader 11th Platoon "Forefather"
