I served under Lt. Witt prior to this picture being taken. I left on February 3, 1969 to rotate home. Six months after I got home I received the Navy Achievement Medal with combat "V".  Unknown to me Lt Witt had put me in for this award.

I was at the battle that took the lives of both Dias and Hamblett.If you would like any more information on what occurred please "e" mail me.

My husband is second from the right......the tall, handsome hunk!!!  Thanks for posting this picture (and several others) so we could share his days in Nam.  I think being a military brat myself , it brings special feelings to see my husband in his prime.  From what I'm hearing, this was an extremely special bunch of men!!!!!

I am a Viet Nam veterian from Phippsburg, Colorado.  I am prould to say David is a hero among us Viet Nam Vets.  While going to Soroco High, I knew of David.  May his memory live forever. 

To you and the other members of Witt's platoon,  we thank you for your service and we especially remember those, like you,  who gave their lives. 11/11/2011

from the 45 on his hip, the M-60 ammo belts, I'm thinking he's from guns, Valesquez, "Val". Joe
