DU Veterans Roll Call

[doc03]

50. We had the M60A1. Right next to our building we had a Sherman tank (I believe)

named Mighty Mike on a concrete pad, they fired a blank round every night at retreat, it shook the ground.
No I never had anything like a gourmet meal in that mess hall. I remember passing thru a town where the street
was paved with asphalt on our side of town and turned to brick with streetcar tracks on the Soviet side. We did our
border time at Camp May outside of Regan I think we did like 6 or 8 weeks, I did 2 single tours there and one double one. We also went
to Hohenfels and Grafenwer twice. So out of 13 months in Germany I think I spent maybe 5 of them in Amberg. The Soviets saved me from
Viet Nam when they invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968.
