In
Honor of Everett Currence
Pfc.
Everett Currence was one of my M-60 gunners who died on Operation
HASTINGS. He died from Malaria on July 25, 1966. I remember that he
was sick for a couple of days, but never mentioned it cause he wanted
to be in the field with his buddies. When the corpsman told me about
it I had him medic-vaced out, but he died 3 days after I was wounded
and I never knew about it till I got his name and cross referenced
it with The Wall. His brother had been wounded in Nam before, that
is why he felt he needed to be there.
Semper
Fi,
Carlos Septien
M Co. 3/5
