Photos From Van Woody, Jr.

My name is Van Woody, Jr.  I was with the 154th Transportation Company,
71st Transportation Battalion during 1970.
Photos Taken Sunday November 1, 1970

When I was with the 154th Transportation Company, during the day I worked in logistics, armor/supplies, making many runs to Cu Chi and Tay Ninh in the convoys.  During the night, we worked on perimeter security along the highway
near the 65-foot guard/observation tower at Camp Camelot.

Our security teams were picked from companies of the 71st Transportation Battalion, the 154th, 300th, 368th, 372nd, 551st, 567th, and the 402nd.  The staff sergeants came from experienced infantry units such as the 101st Airborne.
The E5's and below were picked from within the attached companies of the 71st.
One more of us taken the same day in front of "Sneaky Pete," our APC.
There is not much history written about the security forces during this time period.  If anyone knows or has more photos and information, I would really like to hear from you.  I would like to find Ssg Gary Sheehan who
served with the 101st Airborne Division, Lt. John Wright and his wife Captain Wright From SC
who was with the 24th Evacuation Hospital on LBP in 1970.
