On several occasions I went on MedCAP trips to Cam Lo. With HM1 Charles Parrish at the wheel of the Jeep ambulance, it was a wild ride. Once we arrived we would set up shop in front of one of the local's houses. These MedCAPs were slightly different than the ones I did in Ca Lu in that we also had along with us members of Battalion Intelligence (S2). While we were treating the patients, I believe they were trying to gather information on the Viet Cong in the area. They never would discuss what they were doing.

Village kids. The boy on the right did not like us. He kept saying "I ca ca dau you, Marine!" while simulating a throat cutting motion. That's HM1 Charles Parrish behind me.

There's nothing like a good cold black market beer at 10 a.m. when the heat is over 100 degrees.
