My full hearted respect to you and all the heros! Americans then and now always stepped us and performed to the extreme. My good friend Eddie Pulz served the artillery in Nam 1964 through 1967 and is still showing the effects. He is now almost totally deaf and still has recurring seizures. Then and now they served without question. A movie was released in 1992 "Article 99" outlined the sorry state of affairs in the early 90s It was a wake-up call~The new V.A. hospital in West Palm is second to none! The deserve the best and it now seems to be elavated to a much higher standard of care and excellance! Eddie is now receiving the best and his life is better! ~~Eric

The 7mm rifle cartridge was pretty ubiquitous throughout Spain and Latin America, And FN supplied a good share of the ammunition. Probably not for Argentina, as they were more known for their use of the 7.65 Mauser rounds, not 7x57.
