Comments:Â Hey Eddie, I was with A co. 1/508 on May 5, 1968. I remember it well. Unbearably hot day. No shade until you go into the woodline. A co was still on the road when it started, I remember a forced march, then as we got closer, Capt. Hayman told us to drop rucks and almost double time until we reached C Co. Ssg Hartwick was my Platoon Sgt. Kind of a crazy guy, in alot of ways!! Best wishes…..Airborne!!

Comments:Â I still remember what happened May 5th, 1968, and the actions that Company A, 1/508th took that day do help fellow soldiers. The guys that were killed from both Charlie company and Alpha company, 1/508th will alway be in my heart. There were also alot of brave troopers on that day and some that I can still remember. One trooper that I remember seeing, was assaulting an NVA position, and in doing so, lead his fellow troopers up an embankment, thru a hail of enemy fire. SSG Gilbert Hartwick was the trooper’s name.
