| The Roberts mentioned is Bobby Lee Roberts of Dripping Springs, Texas. I said in the diary that there was some talk of him being killed by one of our grenades. This probably isn't true. In June 2000 Tony Poole contacted me. Tony had been in the same position with Roberts that night and he was pretty sure that the grenade came from outside our lines and it was the first one thrown that night.
