It has been several years since I checked in. Harry C. “Steve” Stevenson. Platoon Leader / XO in Cobra 1/327 May 1967 to April 1968. Bn Assistant S-3 (Air) HHC 1/327 May 1968 to August 1968.

I wrote and published a book titled “FROM BOTH SIDES NOW” available from Amazon in paperback or eBook. The story starts in Vietnam with the Cobras, 1/327 and continues through my weird military career. I wish health and happiness to all my Vietnam brothers! WELCOME HOME! [email protected]

On June 10th, 1970, Delta Company, 2/327th Inf (No Slack) was attacked on FSB Tomahawk, Phu Loc, by a company of NVA sappers. The men of Delta Company heroically and successfully defended the FB, killing more than 30 NVA and capturing 3 during a sweep of the perimeter after sunrise. We had 1 KIA, Artillery trooper and a few WIA. The NVA sappers never penetrated the perimeter wire. They were detected inside the wire before they were ready to attack, by alert men on our perimeter. Fifty years later, for the men that were on Tomahawk, I want to say thank you for your courage and bravery in the fight to defend this FB. You did an outstanding job. Unfortunately, many Fire Bases were overrun during the war and they are the ones that are remembered. But, those that were successfully defended, don't make the history book's. June and July of 1970, FSB Ripcord was under siege and after losing many soldiers, the Fire Base was abandoned and bomb by B52's. It wasn't because the troop's didn't try desperately to defend it, but in my opinion it was abandoned because the Division was not allowed to send additional troops to clear the area of NVA and support the men on the FB. The draw down of the war had begun and we were in the Vietnamization phase. After Hamburger Hill, the politician's did not want anymore major battles, with lose of life. Not good publicity for the public back home. The politicians back home had given up on the war that they had thought was necessary. Sound familiar. Lesson learned, don't go to war unless you are all in and prepared to do what's necessary to Win! Have an exit plan which should be to defeat the enemy. For the... Read more

Days later when the twin peaks were finally secured, FSB Veghel would be constructed. It was costly in men and aircraft.
