BLACK VIRGIN MOUNTAIN, NUI BA DINH
THIS MOUNTAIN WAS APPROXIMATELY 15 CLICKS SOUTH WEST
OF MY BASE CAMP DAU TIENG. DAU TIENG WAS A SMALL
FIRE BASE THAT PROVIDED FIRE MISSIONS FOR THE
TROOPS AT THE TOP AND THE BOTTOM OF THE
MOUNTAIN. THE ENEMY OWNED THE MIDDLE OF THE
MOUNTAIN. THIS MOUNTAIN IS NOW A BEAUTIFUL TOURIST
ATTRACTION PRESENT DAY.
SOUNDS KIND OF CRAZY AFTER 58,000 OF MY BROTHERS
DIED MAKING IT SO. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS FOREVER.
SIGNED: HUGH R. TAYLOR 1ST SFG\ABN,10TH SFG\ABN,
& 588TH COMBAT ENG BATTALION VIETNAM 1968.
