Andrei Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share #216 Posted August 3, 2009 SP4 John "Big John" Quintrell, C Co. 2nd Wolfhounds. Wolfhounds In Firefight CU CHI - A Second Brigade ambush patrol engaged six NVA soldiers, killing one, and capturing his weapon and web gear. “We spotted six NVA coming across a marsh toward our position,” said Specialist 4 John Quintrell, San Diego, Calif., after the action. “We first blew our claymores on them and opened up on them with everything we had.’’ The resulting firefight lasted half an hour, during which gunships pounded the enemy who had advanced within 15 meters of the Wolfhounds ambush site. A search of the area after the contact had broken revealed one NVA body, one AK-50 and one set of NVA web gear.

Andrei Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share #217 Posted August 3, 2009 Not sure if this is relevant here. But it's a nice Vietnam era cotton t-shirt crudely printed with 'Wolfhounds' Anyway, would like to contribute in some way to this great thread.
