Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from fellow soldier Charlie Harootunian are moving. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..

SP4 Charles L. Doom was a Heavy Construction Equipment Operator serving with B Company, 815th Engineer Battalion. The 815th was located at Engineer Hill, three miles northwest of Pleiku Airfield/Camp Holloway in Pleiku Province, RVN. On May 3, 1967, Doom was operating a Clark 290M scraper on National Highway QL-19 west of An Khe for a road improvement project. During the mission, Doom was involved in an accident after he swerved his scraper to avoid a Lambretta cab. The tractor overturned, fatally injuring Doom. His remains were removed to the 71st Evacuation Hospital at Pleiku where he was declared dead by medical staff. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and information provided by John Mayes (October 2021)]
