45. I was like three when the siege of Khe Sanh occurred
I joined the Army in 1988 as a 13 Bang Bang. I actually did see a few M110 rounds impact in Graf. But the smoke cloud that I saw was dust brown. I blew up an old M60 on the direct fire range there once too.
FWIW I also got to fire the last M110 round ever fired by any U.S. Army Field Artillery unit (B 2/157th FA Co NG) I wasn't picked for the honor or anything that's just how it worked out. I still have the lanyard in my garage somewhere
