I worked with Zab, was on the radio relay site during this action and Zab was a good friend. That said let's not forget Doug Glover who was KIA on that operation. He was also well liked and deveral people here and on the List worked and trained with him.
The MOH Citation and the JFK Museum articles are very accurate. IMO the "history.net" version is quite hyped up to make a good magazine story. I feel a lot of literary license was taken in that article.
If I may expand, Doug was a bit of a bad luck magnet. The article correctly states that this was his third operation. On the first he was stepped on by an elephant. On the second he took some frag while he or someone else ,CRS, tried to fell a tree with an M-79 to clear an LZ.
We used to humorously harrass him but it was no longer humorous when he was killed.
Tipping one for Zab and Doug.
