General Note
Captain James Schreiber and medics on USO Beach Chu Lai. Dr. Schreiber graduated from University of Texas Southwestern Medical School in 1968 as did James Evans. Dr. Schreiber came into the Emergency Room 91st Evacuation after a helicopter crash when I was on duty. He had a few bumps and bruises but was otherwise ok. He was fortunate since when the helicopter landed, he was strapped into the helicopter on the down side with aviation fuel pouring over him. He seemed incredibly cool after the helicopter crash. James Schreiber asked me to take this series of photographs on the Chu Lai beach. He requested photographs reenacting raising of flag at Iwo Jima. Dr. Schreiber was battalion surgeon for an Americal Division unit.
