My Father’s Friend
I was recently going through some of my fathers papers and I found this photo. My father always spoke of his friend Charlie that was killed in action in Vietnam. I never knew he had a photo of him.
The back of the photo reads:
Rest in Peace
February 1966
Fort Lewis, Washington
Charlie is 20 years old
Then in different handwriting it says:
Charlie 3/9/67

Final Mission of PFC Charles P. Brown
Operation Adams was a 1st Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, and Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) 47th Regiment operation to protect rice harvests in Phu Yen Province, RVN, from the 18B and 95th North Vietnamese Army regiments. The operation was carried out from October 26, 1966 to March 30, 1967. A little after midnight on March 9, 1967, a platoon from Company A, 3rd Battalion, 12th Infantry was in a night defensive position in the vicinity of Hill 86, six miles northwest of Tuy An, when it was attacked by a 100-man Viet Cong (VC) force. Heavy casualties were inflicted on the Americans before a relief force could reach them. The attack on the platoon began when the VC charged their position, tossing grenades and satchel charges, initiating a fight which lasted about a half hour. Ten U.S. were killed in the battle. The rescue party, a mechanized unit, while headed to the besieged platoon, had mines discharged against them and suffered three killed. Total casualties were thirteen dead and twenty-seven wounded. The lost personnel included (from 3/12th) were PFC George J. Bojarski, PFC Charles P. Brown, PFC Richard A. Jurcak, PVT Gus Stovall Jr., SP4 Lloyd M. Kuehn, PFC John M. Mansfield, SP4 Oscar W. Pierce, PFC John H. Roth, PFC Robert J. Sommerer, and SP4 Larry J. Waddell; and (from A Troop, 1st Squadron, 10th Cavalry) SSG Ambrosios S. Jurado, SGT Angel Ortiz-Rodriguez, and SP4 Edward J. Haburey. Enemy losses were put at five killed. In the days following this action, 3/12th Infantry had a series of small actions in the vicinity of Hill 86 resulting in forty-seven VC killed. Personal belongings of some of the Americans killed on Hill 86 were found on VC bodies, identifying them as the same force which attacked Hill 86.
