LRRP (Provisional) 2nd Bde 4th Infantry Division Vietnam 1966-67 Quotes

“A new heaven was created in our minds.  There were no harps and angels in combat infantry paradise.  It was where there were no ambushes, and your gun didn’t jam and where you saw the enemy before they saw you.  It was where you had enough rations and drinkable water and could get some sleep.  It was being missed when shot at.  It was coming back whole and alive.  That was paradise.”
― Frank Camper, LRRP (Provisional) 2nd Bde 4th Infantry Division Vietnam 1966-67
