David was hardly 19 when he died, he looked 16. He was very quiet and very out of place in Vietnam. He was so innocent of the world. Seemed like he would been more in place in a Norman Rockwell print on a Saturday Evening Post cover. He always had this little kid smile on his face. David died on a simple supply convoy trip from Soc Trang to Can Tho on a Saturday, 4-5-69. The powers that be decided to make that trip by road which had been unsafe for resupply for a long time. All materal came by chopper or fixed wing til that day. The convoy made it to Can Tho OK but on the return trip the VC had set up an ambush {DUH!}. David was killed by an RPG blast. He had 5 days left in country.

Times change, we were kids then, I'm not today.
I love you, guy, but it's time for you to go.
Go visit some other Brothers for a while.
Wait up kiddo, there is something you might tell before you split. |
