<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MorganFred, post: 34066, member: 1779&quot;]That&#039;s the one except mine is Mint State (/brag). I got it in the Americal Officer&#039;s Club hot off the press and, being a coin collector even then, I stashed it rather than use it.</p><p><br /></p><p>I was in Americal (expansion of the origin of the only named Infantry Division in the US Army: it&#039;s short for American forces in New Caldonia) in 1970. When the division was formed, a bunch of Massachusetts National Guard units were used as the focus: 196th, 198th, and 11th Inf Brigades together with support units. I had 2nd Platoon, B Co, 523d Sig Bn; my platoon was originally the 27th Sig Platoon. All of Americal was living down, and is still living down My Lai. It probably will never be activated again, at least under the Americal name.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve got the MP3 from the 82nd if you want it.

However,&nbsp; my experience in Vietnam is still vividly with me after all these years.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
