Looking for members of A Company, 2-12th who were involved in the big fight on 24 October 1969. I was the Plt Leader from C Troop, 3/4 Cav that's came to your rescue that day with Sheridan's and APC's. I am looking for anyone who knew or served with LT Dave Sackett. Dave was killed that day and is a Classmate of mine from the West Point Class of 1968. I met CPT Eddie White for a few moments just before we jumped into the fight. Our West Point Class is trying to write a book of rembrance for all 20 of our fallen classmates from Vietnam. I have taken responsibility to research Dave's story.
I have seen Krause's logs and stories on this web site which is helpful but not quite accurate with our part of that fight.
Any suggestions or ideas are appreciated. |
