THE WALL OF FACES

I served with chuck the whole time . I left in aug 68 chuck extended. Chuck was one of the most innocent people you could ever meet. Never had a bad word for anyone. Chuck never would take his t-shirt off, war as white as a ghost except for his arms. We used to kid him but he would never take it off. I went on to ft hood and that’s where I found out what happened, really felt bad chuck was not supposed to die. To the family I want you to know I’m always thinking about your family and just wanted you to know I really loved chuck like my brother.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Firebase 29 was a 4th Infantry Division firebase located near the Montagnard village of Ben Het on Hill 824 in Kontum Province in the mountainous tri-border area of Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. At 5:05 PM on October 29, 1968, FSB 29 received approximately one hundred rounds of 82mm mortar, 120mm mortar, and possibly 75mm recoilless rifle fire. Counterbattery fire and airstrikes produced one secondary explosion at suspected enemy launch sites. An artilleryman from A Battery, 6th Battalion, 29th Artillery, SP4 Charles E. Hazlip, was killed in the attack; another four U.S. were wounded. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and “Operational Report of the 4th Infantry Division for Period Ending 31 October 1968” at ttu.edu]

Without people like you our nation would not exist. May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace SP4. Hazlip, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.
