I really tried very hard to send you a picture of my brother, Jimmy, but I am not able to yet. I have to wait for my son to get here & show me how it's done. Jimmy was with Bravo Company with 2/27th Wolfhounds. He was very proud of being a Wolfhound and bragged about it in many of his letters home. He died on November 12, 1967 in or near Cu Chi. He was killed along with Elzie Sanders, Greg Goslin and the commanding officer(Captain CharlesSpringer).
I have been in touch with Springers son, Phillip, and he is writing a book about his father. I forward your e-mail to him because he is doing research for his book and maybe you can help him. Thank you for gettting back to me and have a wonderful New Year.
