Tom Acton, was my gunnery, sergent, at Delta, CAP., unit, near Dien Ban. He went in my place, with Steve Olsen, driving the truck to deliver water, to other units. I always went with Olsen, but this day, the gunny wanted to go to check, out the area. They hadn't gone more, than 1/2, mile out, of camp, when they were ambushed. If Tom hadn't gone, that day, I would have died with my friend, Olsen. The gunny, saved my life. I've tried to find some, of his family in recent years, but have been unable, to locate anyone. Thank you Gunny, it should have been me.
