I never built a bridge until I went to Korea!
I guess we wouldn't recoginize the place now!
I even got to drive a "Jeep".
And I got to ride on an LST, down to Koje and the another one to the other side of Koje, where we built some 500 man compounds for the bad asses there
Anyone remember those good things the outfit did?
