My brother too!

Richard (we were all called by our last name, so I knew him simply as Gilbert) was a friend of mine in Vietnam. I was in the 2nd platoon of A Co, 1/6 Infantry and he was the mortar F O attached to our platoon. On the day Gilbert was killed he gave to me a Chunky candy bar just before we started our assault on Nui Hoac ridge. After the attack was over I searched for him to say “Thanks.” I was told he had been killed in the attack. I lost a brother in arms and a very nice young man with his whole life to live. Life isn’t always fair!

thank you

Sgt Gilbert,
You served with my dad, Sgt Donald Herbin- he does not like to talk about the war much, but I asked him for some names and you were the first one he mentioned.
Thank you for your service and sacrifice. I am currently serving in the army reserves because I grew up listening to my dads stories, that you were included with at times.
Thank you again, your sacrifice will not be forgotten
