Do any of you remember the old FRENCH FORT in 3 CORP I seem to remember it was just above the IRON TRIANGLE or where? I D.E.R.O.S.ed from there. I can see thedirtworks around that place and how we cut through it to put the tanks and tracks. Any body remember?[?][?]

    Sounds like you were in the area of the Manchu's (25th Infantry). Just missed French Fort,we worked that whole area in 69 and 70 had a FSB called Blue our platton Sgt. was Hunnsinger and a buddy of mine was at FF Bruce Stiller (short round is what we called him).

    The 25th Infantry Division was in III corps. Manchu 4/9th leg, 2/22 mech, 1/12 leg, 3/4 Cav mech, 12th evac, 27th Wolfhounds leg, 116th AHC Hornets, 242nd Chinooks and a host of others. 25th ID saved Saigon from being overrun during Tet. Along with the 199th LIB. Good men.
