Carl was my company commander in RVN in 1968 during the height of the Tet Offensive, he was Alpha 6 and I was a platoon leader, Alpha 26. I recall his voice and his menthol cigarettes. We shared some pretty sketchy days and nights during that February and March. I've thought of him often and was saddened to learn of his passing, albeit 2 years later.
My deepest condolences to the family and please know I hold a debt of gratitude for his leadership and bravery.
