Once, we were scouting for the 187th Airborne, and we were sent out to
locate the enemy. We came under fire from the enemy, then radioed for the
troopers to come in with a larger force and engage them. We were lolling beside
the road, smoking cigarettes, when suddenly mortar rounds began exploding around
us. I was sitting near the radioman, and I heard one of our officers radio
back saying we had reached our objective, and didn't need the mortar fire. I
heard some excited guy shout over the radio, "Sir, them ain't our mortars!" I
rolled into the ditch while the officer ran down the road shouting, "Hit
the dirt! Take cover!"
