Company Celebration
July 4th, 1969


Alpha Company was getting some well-deserved relaxation and entertainment. As usual, there were teams out in the bush; but, those that were able to be present had a great time under the circumstances.  Thanks to the 3rd Engineers (yes, even after the constant mutual C-S attacks and brawls between Recon and the Engineers at the Enlisted Club), the men were able to get "some" relief from the heat under a parachute suspended from a crane.
