“Destroy enemy weapons” 
———————————

I joined the U.S. Secret Army in 1962. During my service, I was injured two times in action. Few of my combats include: in 1963, I was one of the soldiers who captured the enemy’s anti-artillery Automatic Machine Gun used to shoot down U.S. war planes at Sala Phou Khoun. Then we went on to capture the enemy’s anti-artillery Automatic Machine Gun used to shoot down U.S. war planes at Pu Paduia, close to the Vietnam border. We defeated the enemy there.
