I knew him casually at Kontum,and had no idea he was awarded a MoH.
IIRC,I got medievaced from VN a couple of days before he went in the bush. I THINK he went in with the B Company of Hatchet Force "Operation Tailwind" mission,from the sound of things.
There were a couple of SF Medics as regular Recon Team members,but medics were so rare and in demand that most were just assigned to the camp dispensary to provide medical care to anyone who came through the door.
When needed for a platoon operation,they would be assigned to go in with Hatchet Force platoons.
If HF didn't have anything going on,they would take turns flying as the "chase medic" to help pull wounded recon guys out of the jungle and keep them alive until they could get to a hospital.
I am sorry to learn he died last year. I would have liked to have met up with him again and congratulated him on the MoH as well as adjusting and adapting so well to "regular life"
