    Arrived in country Jan 1967 and assigned to 9th Div. Charlie 3/60. Moved to Binh Phuoc before the base camp was built and lived in a rice paddy until the barracks were complete. Remember when the monsoon started we couldn't move any vehicles because of the mud. Carried M-79 until I became deuce 1/2 (HQ-41) driver and was blown up Oct. 31, 67 returning from USO show w/Martha Ray at Dong Tam. Moved to the LST 1146 Washtenaw County when they switched C 3/60 and C 5/60 back to respective btn. Would be interested in hearing from any of the original group C 3/60 that arrived at Binh Phuoc when I did. Recognized name Rocky Susshine on your roster was there when he was, have pics of him with Buddy our dog and in boxing pose in front of barracks. Don't know what happened to Randy Nalewagen, unsure of last name spelling (Pineapple), I do remember that Tony Galino drowned while crossing a river. Also have picture of him bathing in a creek not long after we arrived at Binh Phuoc.

    While I served with Bandido Charlie, C/1/16 INF, 1st INF Division, I am extremely proud of the heritage brought north by the men of the 5th/60th Infantry. The legacy of 1LT Larry Garner, C/5/60, and the legend he created as the "Original Bandido" could not be greater. Many of the great soldiers I commanded were originally with C/5/60.

    I served with Bandido Charlie after it had moved up to the 1st Inf. Div. Thanks to the guys in the 5th of the 60th, we had a legacy to live up to. We did so, proudly. We did our part to carry on the name "Bandido Charlie" and I think that whether you served with the 9th Div. or the 1st Div. being part of Bandido Charlie is really where it is all at.
