ELDON BARGEWELL’s DSC mission “3 DAYS in OSCAR-8”

Eldon says - I went into Oscar 8 one time and I ran for my life for three days …. That was a major headquarters for that 593d support group the NVA had to maintain the trail. And that was their main area. And there were just thousands of them in there. And we would go in there and call in airstrikes for two or three hours, and then start running."
