Gerry Clark, Detroit, had been in country just two weeks when he heard Hanoi Hannah.  After welcoming our unit Hanoi Hannah said she had a surprise for us.  She said that in honor of Ho Chi Minh's birthday there would be an enemy attack.  Just then I heard small arms fire in the distance. It grew steadier and louder until it became a full-scale attack on the Da Nang Air Base.
