Chopper dropped off needed ammo. VC build up in our sector. My base was built of junk wood from pallets at work. The water tower barrel is made from my daughter's milk formula cans.

Two marines set up M-60 for possible VC attack. Mrs. BUZZ made all my sandbags for my base. They cost me less than $3.00 to make. The wire fence is made of floral wire.

Great work again there BUZZ! I love a soldier who is not afraid to get out there and dig in the backyard! What a wonderful example of a backyard battlefield, just the way it is supposed to be. You've inspired me to get out in the backyard and do a little digging of my own! Thanks for sending them in. -- GL
