Photography

One night in 1970, on the DMZ, I was Charge of Quarters (CQ) for Headquarters Company 3rd Brigade, 2nd Infantry. CQ was the NCO assigned to stay up all night manning the Company Commander's office That night two North Koreans were killed trying to cross the DMZ and the bodies were brought onto the compound to await an Army ambulance to cart them away. Thankfully I did not see them.

The night was very foggy, and what I saw was the ambulance leaving the compound down a long sloping drive to the Main Supply Route (MSR), small dim red taillights glowing in the dense fog.

It remains a sad poignant snapshot only in my mind. I wish I could adequately share.

There have been a few more missed in the intervening years, but trivial in comparison.
