The last CCS, MACVSOG CO wrote a book. I sent in INFO/Details. Frankly, I thought SGM Billy Waugh was doing it.

Thank you for your service. My only brother enlisted in the U.S. Army. After basic training at Fort Dix, he was sent to Alaska. He wasn’t there very long as they had reactivated the 25th Infantry Division, and he ended up in Hawaii for jungle training. He was stationed in Cu Chi ‘66-’67. Spent his last year of enlistment at Fort Carson, Colorado. Came home, got married, had a family. Dropped dead of a massive heart attack at the age of 51. As a kid growing up, all he’d ever wanted to be was a soldier. He didn’t talk much about his time in Vietnam, and although I know he was probably disappointed, because the Army really wasn’t as it was portrayed in the movies of his youth, I never heard him say one bad thing about it.
