Thank you very much for that information Hank. I just recently received a link to the wall and got the unit information for Gary and then the Vietnam in HD started which got me doing a little more research. I was only 13 when Gary was killed but I still remember the day that they came to the house. I only have one picture of Gary after boot camp, if anyone else would like to share a pic or information about would be great. My email is ready57@comcast.net, you may pass this email on if you wish. Thanks again for your reply, Roger

: Hello Roger:
: My name is Hank Bergson I was the Company
: Commander of B Co 1/27 from early July to
: Mid December 1969 when Cpt Bill Ayers became
: Co. I then went to Cu Chi as BN S4 In Jan
: 1970 the company went into an unfamiliar
: area of operation I believe along the Vam Co
: Dong river near the sugar mill. In that area
: 1/5/1970 they detonated a large booby trap
: killing Gary and Wounding several others. I
: recall rushing to the air strip and meeting
: the Dust Off chopper as they brought the
: wounded in. I am in touch with several B
: company members who were with Gary and were
: wounded that day. As to your specific
: question re the fall of 1969 Gary joined the
: company in Aug 1969 for most of that time we
: operated out of Fire support base
: Chamberlain near Bao Tri in Hau Niga
: Provence (north west of Saigon) we conducted
: operations along the Vam Co Dong River and
: up towards the parrots beak area where the
: Ho Chi Min trail exited Cambodia and entered
: Vietnam.
