Det A-503, 1966-1967
I definitely remember a couple
of these Yard medics, but this
picture was taken a while before I got there.
That's Scott Whitting a team medic in 66-67, with them.

Operation Harvest Moon
I just found out these last three photos weretaken during "Operation Harvest Moon", 4/2/67,
the first combat jump by the U.S. Army Special Forces.
The middle picture was taken over DZ Bunard, 65 miles N.E.
of Saigon, setting up area control to establish a new SF camp.
The photo with the planes was taken at the Nha Trang airfield as
the CIDG and SF troops were loading for the jump. The photo on
the right is the interior of the 1st aircraft just prior to the jump.
Ssg Whitting(Medic) was the 5th man in the 1st stick to exit.
These pictures courtesy of Ssgt. Scott Whitting.
