  • MY Brothers Keep – Louis Merrins
    MY Brothers Keep – Louis Merrins #26 Guns – the rear, Vietnam Writer’s Notes – My last story – The end of time with 173rd Airborne Unit _____________________ After clearing Brigade Headquarters in Bien Hoi, Ron and I had to wait four hours for a transport down to Tans Son Nut Air Base. It was 1930 hours when the plane finally stopped and we exited. Both of us were dressed in new fatigues with all our rank and insignias sewn on. Everything we owned was in our duffel bags, which we were dragging along with us. Our orders read that we were to report to Headquarters Company C, 52nd Infantry, 716th MP Battalion, Saigon. Having found Saigon, the rest would be easy. There was a large terminal with plenty of activity going on. I figured that was where we would find help. Leading the way with Ron bringing up the rear, I headed for the building. I entered the terminal and held the door for Ron. His uniform was already soaked from the short walk across the tarmac. Even though it could not have been more than 100 yards, the temperature and humidity was already cooking us. The concrete apron was like a giant frying pan. Even though both Ron and I were field tough, the weight of the bags combined with the heat brought out the sweat in a hurry. Ron was maybe 125 pounds now that he was soaking wet. I smiled at him. "Fuck you, Sarge," he said with a smile on his face. I guess mine was not the perfect poker face, and he had read my thoughts.
