To James Herring below
James , while I was in Vietnam walking drag mostly in a platoon I never knew what CAP meant. The last few years I have been reading a little about CAP Marine units. I don't know if the average American knows what was sacrificed but if they did they would get on their knees and kiss your feet. |

Dale K Porterfield
This was the Day Dale died in Vietnam. He was the doorgunner on a Huey supporting trops in Quang Tri during the Easter offensive. His Huey was hit by a surface to air missile which were now being used below the DMZ. Dale was on the missing list for a few months but efforts finally retrived him a few months later. He was very young and I think he wanted to make the service his career. He had a wife and child to take care of and I think that's what motivated him.Dale has crossed my mind many times over the years. Usually when my thinking gets out of line I remeber Dale's words. He had a very clear way of looking at things. |
