Cowboy Dave Armstrong

John LaDue Photo

This photo shows 1st Plt., D/227th Crew Chief, "Cowboy" Dave Armstrong. Sometimes Dave took the Cavalry thing a little too literally. :-) There was a herd of free ranging cattle in the Le Hong Phong forest, north of Phan Thiet. I believe we had some discussions about, whether or not one of these scrawny cows would taste better than the "Mystery Meat" served in the Mess tent. We figured that these cows would be about as chewy as an old Flak Jacket, so it was a toss up. :-)
