The Ambush After I Left the Field

April 1971 · Jim Garvin

Within a month of Jim Garvin rotating off line, his old platoon was ambushed near FSB Fontaine. Several men were medevaced; one killed would have gone home the next log day on a hardship discharge. Bill Holtzclaw, the RTO, survived — and a question stayed with Garvin long after discharge.
