Remembering An American Hero
Dear LTJG Charles Brooks Pfaffmann, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter

Chuck Pfaffman, RIP....
Chuck Pfaffman was a counselor at a YMCA overnight summer camp in Rhode Island during the Summer of 1962 or 1963. I was one of the campers in his 12 person tent. I was 13 at that time.
He was 17 or 18. Chuck was blond, good-looking, outgoing, and a meaningful role-model to me.
There is a group picture I may still have of us. I will try to find it and post here.
I found this site and felt a need to express my feelings.

Never Forgotten
FOREVER REMEMBERED
"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....
Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."
Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.
We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:
Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.
From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers

Thank you
I'm from Kelloggsville high School and we are studying the Vietnam War. I did research on Charles Brooks. I would like to thank you for giving your life for our country. Not everyone is reconized for their sacrafices that they gave to us, yet I find it neccesary to thank you for what you did. Your sacrafice is still remembered today. Although it is not mentioned as much as it should, but it is always thought of. Thank you again!
