Echo Company's Sgt Clyde Shirron, who will
leave Vietnam shortly, recently found out that no area is safe from booby traps.
Earlier this month he almost tripped a
booby trap at the base of LZ LIZ when he was returning from a reconnaissance
mission.
" I never thought they'd set a booby trap
there, but that just goes to show you that you'll never know where they'll be,"
explained Sgt Shirron.
