Pictured above is John Ax, like Henry Jezek , John has spent vast amounts of time and energy putting together members of the 2/47th. This is a massive accomplisment for John , who also suffers from PTSD. (to see a current photo of John and Henry please make sure to visit the Reunion Photo pages). In the picture above John is seen as NCOIC of Charlie Co. at BEARCAT, where he was for two weeks while his foot healed from a slight wound. This particular photo was taken about two weeks before TET '68.
