For reasons that I did not know about at the time, Capt. Spruill wanted APC's instead of tanks to lead the troop up Hill 162. Somehow, track 1-2, with me driving, was the first vehicle going up the hill. The terrain was mostly low scrub brush. It was quite dry, but at the bottom of the ridge, there was this muddy depression. Our tanks were deployed behind us, waiting for us to occupy the ridge before they moved up and crossed that depression. I was about 1/2 of the way up when one of our tank sergeants called me on the radio, telling me to stop and come back to the bottom of the hill. One or more of our platoon tanks were stuck in the muddy depression and needed some topside security while they worked on the problem. I dutifully turned around with the rest of the 1st platoon scouts. I recall Doc Parker was riding along with us that day. Meanwhile, the 2nd platoon scout tracks overtook us and barreled up the hill. They were in good spirits as we passed. I distinctly remember the good-natured yelling and middle fingers they shot us. As soon as they crested, an RPG hit the lead vehicle, driven by Monte Stamm. Stamm was killed outright and I think his TC, the platoon leader, was slightly injured. Doc Parker jumped out of my track with his kit and headed uphill, catching a ride with another track. When he returned, he told us the details. We made it to the top of the hill later, after Stamm was medivac'd. I didn't even feel weird that it might have been me instead of Stamm. It never mattered because death & injury was just so random.
My name is Floyd Weaver and Stamm was a great friend of mine. I was driving the track behind him when his track was hit. After it was over I drove his track back to base. I have a picture of me at the wall with a reflection pointing to his name. If you have any questions please fell free to e-mail me.(It's my wifes e-mail address Floyd Weaver).
