You are not forgotten
I met Jerry while in Vietnam we were in the same platoon of the 538th Trans Co. 64th Quartermaster. We would sometimes play basketball when not on convoys delivering fuel to the Infantry Divisions of the Saigon Support Command. He was a good player, soldier and friend. I'll always remember you as long as I live.Wednesday, January 07, 2004

Remembering Beavers; he burned saving us
Dave and 'Beavers' were convoying to Quan Loi and were ambushed. They were always told if your truck got hit, get it off the road so the rest of the convoy could get through. Beavers was infront of Dave, and Beavers took rounds and caught fire. They were hauling JP4, but he stayed in his truck and drove it off the road, so everyone else could get through. He was my best friend, and he probably saved my life. There were casualties in that conflict, Dave has a problem knowing his real name because they were best friends, and he called him Beavers. If any one remembers this Dave would like to hear from them. Dave Brown 610-704-6392 or send an email, brownalyshia@msn.com or lessaweaver@yahoo.com

Jerry was killed in the same ambush that injured Beavers. I just discovered that Beavers survived his burns, where Jerry didn't. Neither returned to our platoon, and both men where horrible burned. I found out today that Beavers survived, where I thought he was among the KIA. These two served our country well, and should have recived the highest honors. I will always remember their actions to the save the convoy. I was happy to call them friends. Aug 15, 2006
