I was an enlisted man who served with Company C 2/12, 1st Cavalry in Vietnam in 1968-69.
On July 29 1968 Sgt Alfred J. ("Bud") Davies Jr., was killed in action. Bud Davies was my
squad leader and my friend. I have included my recollections of the action.
The names of all men lost on the field of battle that day are:
I am leaving this message so that people reading these words today; ten years from now; a hundred years from now can understand what happened on the morning of July 29, 1968. Our people were ambushed on a jungle hilltop. Sergeant Davies led his squad on what was essentially a rescue mission. His squad was not the element initially ambushed. He knew the risks when the call came to advance. I think about that. |
