My name is Leonard Turner. I was with the 368th from October 67-October 68 and was assigned as a crane operator on the docks at Newport. I spent 14 days recovering at the 17th Field Hospital after being shot on the side of the face during Tet 68. Most of my teeth where blown out, and my jaw was busted up pretty bad. My Purple Heart puts the date of the injury as February 1, 1968, but it may have actually been in the early hours of the 2nd. I do remember that it happened near the Newport bridge. I recall being put into a 3/4 ton truck, and then waking up in the hospital. Much of that night is a blur in my memory now after 42 years. I sure would like to know who was with me that night, and who put me in the 3/4 ton truck. In these pictures, I can remember a few of the names, but most of them I have forgotten. If anybody can recognize them, please contact me. Thank you, Leonard O. Turner |
