by Gene Lassiter and updated with info from Joe Newsome and Ralph Jackson.
The occasion is MAJ Newsome's promotion party at Camp Evans in Bn Hq.

CPT Norman E. Lassiter: Gene was 228th's Bn S-3, Bulldog 3 in 68-69. Gene says, "this is the most pitiful mustache in all of Vietnam".

Gene started his tour in C/228th, but transfered to Battalion Headquarters mid tour (Aug'68) to become Bn S-3, Bulldog 3. LTC Paquette was the 228th Bn Cdr at that time.

See the link to C/228th for a picture and story about "Majestic Mount Cline" and "Lovely Lake Lassiter".
