Schoonderwoerd's Silver Star
This is a video about Craig's Silver Star for his action and involvement in the December 10-11th, 1968 engagement with enemy forces in the province of Hau Nghia. The area was just to the north west of Cu Chi and northeast of Trang Bang, near a small village of X. Trung Hung, an area of constant clashes with NVA and VC forces.The photos and video used to make this story, are of the 2/12th Infantry. The helicopter footage is of Charlie Co, but some of the individual photos may be of other companies, but were used to illustrate the story line. There were no photos taken than I am aware of pertaining to night time firefights. -

To read about some of Craig's own experiences in Vietnam and the story of Charlie Co, I wrote a book called  "Young Men in Harm's Way." I wrote this book to honor the regiment, tell my story as well of many who served with me, and to provide insight to those interested in knowing what the war and Vietnam was like in combat."Sarge" Arnold Krause - 12/1/2021
