The Tay Ninh convoy was early in the morning to early in the evening. We had our gun jeeps escorting the convoy one up front a few others in between and one at the end. Sometimes there were tanks from another unit, sometimes there were two choppers. One in front and one in the rear. Their call signs were "Sheriff-1" and "Sheriff-2," and they had plenty of fire power.

     Just to let you know what a small world it is, when I was a policeman for New York City Police Department after being discharged from the Army, my partner and I went to eat in a pizza parlor in New York City. There were oriental kids running around in the store and the waitress was also oriental, the man making the pizza was not.

     I started talking to the guy who was making the pizza. He owned the place and he told me that he was an active Captain at Fort Wadsworth. I told him I served in Vietnam and was in B Company, 720th MP Battalion. He started to laugh and said he was a Warrant Officer then in a gunship escorting us and his call sign was Sheriff-1. He was the one that we had radio contact with at the time. All we knew was a voice over the radio and I get to meet him face to face five years later. Small world right.

SP/4 George J. Schlitz, B Company, 720th MP Battalion, 89th MP Group, 18th MP Brigade, October 1966 to March 1968.
