Profound Sadness, Immense Pride
I’ve always wondered what kind of baseball career he might have had. But as is the case with everyone whose pictures we see listed here, the real tragedy is the loss of someone’s father, son, or brother. Rest in eternal peace, Udell.

Final Mission of PFC Udell Chambers
Operation Toan Thang II ("Complete Victory") was conducted by the U.S. Army’s 1st Infantry Division and the Army of the Republic of Vietnam (ARVN) between June 1, 1968 and February 16, 1969. It was designed to keep pressure on the Viet Cong (VC) and the North Vietnamese Army (NVA) forces in III Corps. Toan Thang II followed on Toan Thang I which sought to reestablished South Vietnamese control in the areas around the capital of Saigon. A limited number of major enemy units attempted operations around the capital while other units were believed to withdraw into base areas in northeast and northwest Binh Duong Province to resupply and receive replacements. The Division conducted extensive reconnaissance-in-force and ambush patrols in these VC/NVA sanctuaries to deprive the enemy supplies and equipment. On June 21, 1968, the enemy attacked an American unit while they were fixed in a night defensive position. Rockets and mortars landed on the U.S. location, fatally injuring three 1st Division soldiers. The lost personnel included PFC Udell Chambers, SGT William L. Law, and PFC James R. Zboyovski, all members of C Battery, 1st Battalion, 7th Artillery. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]
