Title: Red & Sugar Bear ..both KIA's in Fall of 1969???????? Help please to verify Post by: frenchie on November 17, 2013, 09:42:37 PM Dear M Company Trooper of 1969:
Do any of you remember the names of TC. "Red" and his driver, "Sugar Bear"? The loader was Lonnie Burris. We were all in a firefight in the Fall of 1969. In this battle a medivac chopper was blown out of the sky. I was there in Lance Alsup's tank. I was sure that both Red and Sugar Bear were killed that day. Am I wrong in my recollection. I was checking on a the 11 ACVVC web site for our KIA's. Though I do not know their true names, I was looking for KIA's in the Fall of "69" on the same day. I could not find a match under these perimeters. I checked the Oct. "69" unit roster and none of the names on the KIA list match to the names on our roster. I am wondering if Red & Sugar Bear were overlooked somehow. If so, I would like to see them included in the KIA list and not forgotten. I haven't even after all these years. I have been wrong many times in my life, I hope someone will kindly inform me that they are not forgotten and on the Wall. I would appreciate their names,please. I want to say how honored I was to serve with such honorable men as you all in 1969. I am proud of how we all conducted ourselves. With deep respect...ALLONS Frenchie |
