Dean and myself were new guys, on June 24th 1969: when we were dispatched to guard some ammo
that had accidentally fallen from a helicopter. I cannot recall why he went on the six-man patrol to the sight,
rather than myself. Later that evening we learned that all six men were killed when the ammunition exploded.
I believe it was booby-trapped by the enemy. We all grieved for them when the services were held the next day
in a tent on the small base we occupied.

I am proud to say that I served with Dean.
