This is the inside of the same helicopter from the back. You can see right below the right of the door, the little feed tube coming out with the ammunition, and that feed tube leads to an ammo box, which is on the firewall in the back, kind of dead center. You can also see some orange life vests, which actually were sat on rather than worn. You can also, on the floor there, you can see about a half dozen M-60 machine gun barrels and this shows you the rate at which these guys fired during a firefight. They might have to change four barrels on their M-60 door guns in one firefight. That's how intense this stuff was.

U.S. Company ambushed the NVA. The area was still heavily occupied by the enemy. Captain O'Dell describes the injuries sustained by the team and the difficulties in medivacing the wounded from the area. Corporal Slocum tells of the ambush of the NVA that he participated in from the hospital after he was injured. Much of the discussions involves the attempted medivacs from the ambush site. Corp. Slocum was separated from his unit and was airlifted out by a helicopter. Slocum believes that when he became separated he was amongst several companies of the enemy. PFC Nation gives his version of the patrol he was part of the rear guard for the patrol. PFC Nation and the rest of his group was trapped between two different groups of enemy. After a brief firefight they started taking casualties. Nation speaks very well of Slocum and continuing the firefight even though he was injured. Interview ends in mid-sentence.
