I didn't know Robert personally but I remember the night he was killed. It
was the first action I would see in Viet Nam. I saw the track in front of mine
and the track behind us both blow up. Since my track had to go over the
second mine, it had to be set off by command. I told myself that night I could
stop worrying, with ten months left in country there was no way I could survive.
I was very lucky.
