Early Release.

It was written right in the contract that our little people would only be treated in U.S. facilities.

One day we got word that one of the HF troops had been mistakenly sent to a VN hospital in Pleiku and they wouldn't release him. Rather than launch a major rescue mission from the Yard Camp in Kontum, a few of us drove op to Pleiku to pick up the Yard. The Vietnamese refused. We saw him stashed in a corner and being totally neglected. We went to the "B Co" Mike Force and explained the situation. They mobilised a Company and went and got back our Yard, whom we took to the U.S. FH.
