Also my best friend in country was Jim Powell I think he was from Ohio, I woul love to find him as will. I would like to hear from any of my Troung Luong brothers. Dave These are the words from a Summit County military hero, David Kranig, of Francis. Dave was honored by having his story written in the book “The Screaming Eagles at Trung Luong”, Vietnam Magazine, April of 2003. He was a team leader for the 2/327 Infantry, 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division. His story told of the life in a Long Range Patrol unit, wherein he was made to scout, locate and outsmart the guerilla’s of the NVA. He relayed the story of how he followed Chamers, the LRRPS in the 101st Airborne through training of Recondo, and how he was a participant in the white-knucke mission of Vietnam—a jungle from “hell”. While there he was a team leader, badly wounded, and luck to still be alive! He volunteered for to be a paratrooper in 1965, and was ambushed by VC—ending up getting shot several time, nearly loosing his arm. The VC ran up to him and shot him three more times, but he still survived! The only thing that saved him from bleeding to death was the fact that he rolled over onto the shot-up arm and used his body weight to stop the bleeding. He ended up being shot thirteen times, and was in the hospital over a year. His spunk did not leave him, as he was in a fight after he got out of the hospital with a man who “gave him some lip”. The cast on his armmade a good weapon to fight back with, and the man left stating, “Man, that Kranig’s cool!”—as he returned to the training grounds. Valor, determination to stay alive, and returning to the town of Francis kept Kranig going. Train Leaking Diesel Fuel Stops at Echo On Friday, Nov. 2, a train traveling westbound from Colorado was stopped in Echo due to the fact that a leak was sighted coming out of the top of one of the cars. The rail car was diverted to a side rail at Echo because of the suspected leak. The Utah State Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) and the Summit County Health Department was notified of the diesel fuel spilling over the side of the tank, and they responded to the call. After the lid was removed, it was evident that the gaskets were not sealing and small amounts of diesel fuel was leaking over the top and spilling down both sides of the tank. The Railroad Environmental Hazmat Unit responded to repair the gasket and clean the sides of the tank. |
