MEMORY OF A GRAND LADY

I only had BB-62 give us fire support one night when I was in Viet Nam. As you can see from the picture, why it was a memorable event. When the New Jersey opened fire, we thought we had taken incoming fire, then we heard the shells go over our heads, the next thing we heard was the mountain explode. I watched the mountain burning all night. The next morning the New Jersey came up close from over the horizon. WHAT AN AWESOME SIGHT! Not many will ever get to experience that again.
