Hi Benny. Dont rember you or many others from my old unit but I do rember that night that MSG Hooper lost his life and I think I saw him take his last couple of breaths. A fine person he was and he will not be forgotten!! I was Lt. Peu's driver and we were the first responders to the bridge that night and we went straight to the south side. I think 3 KIA's and some wounded I do remember one wounded with his finger shot off under the upper bridge where MSG Hooper was laying on the south side. We built new bunkers on that end of the bridge and was attacked a few nights later and I was the one that was hurt trying to get the 50 cal to the north side ot the bridge as theirs had something wrong with it and we had an extra. Lt. Peu had put me in for a purple heart for that injury but nothing ever came of it. I tell you this only to try and assist you in remembering me. I rotated out on 01 April 1968.
