7/22/10

Doc Stafford’s comment on 7/12/10 left out the fact that due to heavy ground fire he and other wounded Alpha Avengers were not able to be air lifted out for several days, we needed to secure a surrounding hilltop and establish an LZ.

“Doc” will also find a picture of himself that was taken on FSB Brick (Brian Eveleth photo’s top row far right), in that same picture with Doc Stafford is Dave Schmidli and Rich Johnson, both were also wounded during the same timeframe and sent stateside ---the mission which was to relieve 2/506 on Hill 902 near FSB Ripcord.

PS. Also attached another picture that I took of Doc at FSB Brick.

I am amazed that it is 40 years ago I was hit on July 4, 1970 on some long forgotten hill is the ashu valley.

Hello. May name is Leiah Zaragoza. I am the niece of Victor Zaragoza, the inaugural recipient of your "Some Gave All" award. I never had the honor of meeting my uncle in person, since he died about five years before I was born. But, for as long as I can remember, my dad (Victor's older brother Joe) has had a unwavering devotion to keeping my uncle's memory alive. So much so that I have always felt as if I knew him personally. Ever since I was a little girl, I have felt a reverence for my uncle and for the sacrifices he made for so many in Vietnam.

My family is running a memorial ad this weekend to commemorate my uncle, which will run in our local newspaper, the Imperial Valley Press, this Sunday, May 30th. Since it honors all soldiers who have died for this county, my dad and I, who co-create this ad, would like to forward you a copy (attached). We would be honored if you shared it with those who knew him.

Thank you for your continued work, recognition and devotion to our heroes of the Vietnam War.

Sincerely,
Leiah Zaragoza
