I was honored to be his platoon commander

Hammonds was smart and tough. Movie star looks. I was wounded and medevacked on January 4, 1970. Days later in the Naval Hospital in Yokosuka I heard about his heroic actions that led to his death. I think of him every day. He would have grown into a great man. He deserved so much more than he got in his short life. Eric Chase, Colonel, USMC (Ret)

Not Forgotten

Your name was mentioned on Fox news this morning(1-4-2024) by the very man you saved . He is now a general and said he was shot and you came out of a perfectly safe place to rescue him which cost you your own life. He said he will never forget the sacrifice you made. I want to thank you for your heroism and honor your surviving family members.
