Between mortars, rockets, RPGs, booby traps and bullets, there was no safe place in for a soldier in Vietnam. !Thank you chopper guys for coming to our call and often rescue.

"TO THOSE WHO HAVE FOUGHT FOR IT, LIFE HAS A FLAVOR THAT THE PROTECTED WILL NEVER KNOW!"

I came upon this site while surfing the net and knew that the above statement would have special meaning for you. Vietnam has left us all with many memories of those with whom we served and those who didn’t make it back. I saw that you served with 2/12th out of Cu Chi. I served with 3/22nd, 25th Infantry Division out of Tay Ninh as an infantryman. Fought the NVA on the slopes of Nui Ba Den twice with numerous firefights in and around the area bordering the Cambodian border. Remember your Christmas in Vietnam? Mine was spent on an ambush patrol near the Cambodian border. Awarded Purple Heart and three Bronze Stars with “V”. After 5 months in the field, I was pulled to the 93rd Evac at Long Binh to work with soldiers suffering from combat fatigue. Coming home was one of the most difficult parts of our tours. Over the last 10 years, I chronicled my tour of duty and the response has been overwhelming. With your

Dear brothers of my brother,
I am the little sister of 1LT Gary D Frasher KIA May 8, 1970. He arrived in Cu Chi March 21, 1970. It was a short time there, but if there is anyone out there who remembers him, I would be honored to hear from you.
Thank you for your service!
