I managed to salvage these four issues of The Roadrunner because they all had stories in them that I had written.
As with Tour 365, for the sake of clarity, the scans are fairly large and will take a bit of time to download, so please be patient.

- Page Three -- Proud of Them, Passed IG Inspection, Awards
- Page Four -- 2,714,914 Miles in Vietnam, Commander's Column, Mommasans Receive 20,000 P (Note: You'll see my markup on this story; I wrote the facts but they changed it at 48th Group -- I guess they didn't want to advertise the fact that the US Air Force had bombed the village in error)
