Mike "Hippie" Sperou

D 1/8 1st Cav 3rd Platoon Jan 69 to Sept 69

My wife Judy is helping me write this stuff about myself for your list. My guys would know me as: Mike (Hippie) Sperou. I was in the third platoon with Milton and Plantz. We had Lt. Teasley of 3rd platoon when I was there. I am sure he remembers those ambushes. You guys left out Wayne Taylor and Steve Heyer. I was WIA 15th march '69. I was in the field Jan '69 through Sept '69. We have a few pictures and will send them to you soon. Thank You for doing all this work, it was really wonderful to look it over. It got me in a time warp.
