"In spite of our ability to construct state-of-the-art high-rise buildings, replace worn hearts with stronger ones, and blend chocolate, caramel and steamed cream for the perfect, yet outrageously-priced yuppie coffee, each of us still carries deep inside a warrior spirit, an inherent quality, not far removed from our prehistoric ancestors." These are words from Loren W. Christensen who was with the 716th MPs and is now a writer. |

Jerry Cassell sent this pic in. These are two MPs on river patrol near Saigon. Jerry doesn't know their names or the MP Company. Perhaps someone can identify these guys. |

"His career as a soldier was marked with distinction. He was decorated for valor two times while serving previous tours in Vietnam during which he was wounded twice. He is a friend and fellow policeman...always considered the needs of his men. He is a memory filled with respect for a man who unhesitatingly gave his life to aid his fellow policemen...." Part of the eulogy given by Capt. Hartless, 557th MP Company. |
