Wow, riveting story. First time I heard about the mined telephone poles the boats had to avoid.

It was brutal when he was talking about the point where he had to drop the ramp, knowing these kids are about to get mowed down because he could hear the bullets ricocheting off the other side. Just a gut wrenching moment for anyone.

SSG Carlos Madden - Absolutely. I was captivate with his recollection until the end, but had to smile about his Dad's solution about him going AWOL (and selling him out to the MPs).
