Thank You
Dear PFC Peter Timmerman, Thank you for your service as a Field Radio Operator. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Today is the 58th anniversary of the 2nd Gulf of Tonkin Incident. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it still needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Final Mission of PFC Peter S. Timmerman
On February 21, 1969, a U.S. Marine convoy was enroute from Fire Support Base Elliott (the “Rockpile”) to Dong Ha Combat Base on Highway QL-9 when it was ambushed by an unknown-sized enemy force three miles west of Cam Lo in Quang Tri Province, RVN. One jeep hit a mine and the following jeep was taken under fire by unknown-type mortars. The 11:30 AM ambush resulted in two Marine losses, SSGT Victor S. Schlichting and PFC Peter S. Timmerman, both from A Platoon, 5th 155mm Gun Battery. Two other persons were wounded; both jeeps were destroyed. The responsible enemy unit was not identified; however, it was assumed that elements of the North Vietnamese Army’s 27th Independent Battalion, 31st Group, were involved which killed three Marines in a road ambush in the same area the week before.

Never forget. Please.
Like Peter, I also was a Marine field radio operator. We went through boot camp and all other training together. Though we were assigned to different outfits in Viet Nam, we kept in touch, planning to get back together again in March when we completed our respective tours.
I still miss you, my friend. You were a good man.

Rest in Peace, Steve.
We went to school together in Jordan Valley for a while. I remember when I read in the paper of your death, I gasped. I have never forgotten you and I have a rubbing of your name that my son took when he was at the Wall. Thank you for your service, Steve. RIP
