Sam Cook, Mark Plunk (RIP), Hans J. Underwood, and Frank Fullbright at a refueling point in Plei Djereng, west of Pleiku, just before we crossed into Cambodia. Three copies of this photograph were made and shared with Sam Cook, Frank Fullbright, and me. We've kept it for more than fifty years, a quiet testament to the journey we shared.
