Conyers resident Mike Morris fought house to house in the Chinese Cholon District of Saigon during the infamous Tet Offensive of '68. Assigned to the 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry (Mechanized), 25th Infantry Division as a rifleman, Morris' normal operational area was Cu Chi, also known as "Hells Half Acre." Yet all he could think about was playing second base...
never knew much about this guy but sounds like a fantastic man. God bless you sir and thank you for your service!
My grandfather loved Mike like a child of his own. Got him started by giving him his first job in baseball and he made the most of it. I remember Mike telling me about how pop would send him Lynchburg newspapers when he was deployed and that small thing kept his spirits high and helped him get through it.
Cant wait to read the article.
