General Note
1st Lt. Paul L. Sauer and I made a round trip in the medical platoon jeep from Quang Tri to Cua Viet. A naval base at the mouth of the Qua Viet River transported military vehicles across the river to the sand flats immediately south of the DMZ Medic Grant, Company C, 1/77 Armored Battalion, at Cua Viet, South Vietnam. Grant was injured in a firefight and received a Silver Star for heroism in a ceremony at 1/77 Armored Battalion, Quang Tri Combat Base. At the time of the ceremony he had a bandage on one of his ears. Another soldier attacked him in th EM Club and severely lacerated his ear.
