We served together in Viet Nam
Posted for: CHRISTOPHER LEE CHAMBERS:
In 1968 Chambers and I served together in H&S Company, 3rd M.P. Battalion. I drew rations for the battalion and Chambers was, occasionally, assigned to drive me to Red Beach to pick up the next days rations. I remember the reactionary force being sent to a bridge south of Da Nang in August (Chambers, and most of the motor transport section, made up a portion of the force that was sent to stop a VC attack). Days later, when the reactionary force returned, I began to get some idea of what took place at the (Cau Do?) bridge. I considered myself lucky, if not blessed, to have missed the encounter that took Chambers life and several other young lives from H&S Company. I wish that I could remember all the names but thirty plus years have dimmed my memory.
