24 Sep 1999 Lord, what is man that thou takest knowledge of him! Or the son of man that thou makest account of him! Man is like to vanity: His days are as a shadow that passeth away. ( Psalms 144:3,4 ) Mom Pop and Sis hma8731@aol.com

A Note from The Virtual Wall At the end of March 1967 Bravo Company, 1/12 Cavalry, was brought in from the field for a rest at the 1st Cavalry Division's base camp near An Khe. The base was defended by a series of strong points around its perimeter, and Bravo 1/12 was given responsibility for one of them: LZ CHARLES. On 09 April LZ CHARLES was subjected to an attack by sappers. Although the NVA troops penetrated the perimeter, they were kicked out again - but at the cost of 8 Americans dead and many more wounded. The dead were SGT Dale E. Milam, Prosperity, WV CPL Cario Fuller, Benton, AR CPL Glenn J. Hlavacek, Chicago, IL CPL James F. Madden, Brewton, AL CPL Charles A. Stoken, Grand Rapids, MI PFC Rodney C. Edwards, Columbiaville, MI PFC William C. Madison, Memphis, TN PFC Ronald M. Thomas, Lewiston, ME On 01 June 1967 the fight at LZ CHARLES resulted in a ninth death - Bravo Company's commanding officer, Captain Joseph A. Tomko of Aliquippa, Pennsylvania, died of wounds received that night.
