Anyone up for a real war story? Do you know this Viet Vet KIA?
A nephew of the Captain Joseph Caudillo refered to in this article checked in at our Vet's forum on another site to see if any of us served with him. This article was found by one of our members. Would anyone who served with Captain Joseph Caudillo of Kerman, California contact me please?
Thank you.

"One-Man Wrecking Crew Wastes VC Bunkers
Stumpf was about to move forward when he noticed that Latimer had dropped his rifle and was staggering. Stumpf grabbed his friend by the arm to steady him. He saw that Latimer had been shot in the chest.
Their eyes locked for a moment. Latimer mumbled, "I'm dead, Stumpy," then collapsed on the ground.
Latimer's death infuriated Stumpf even more. Rifle ready, he charged deeper into the bunker complex. He claims not to remember what he did during the next 10 minutes, but those who witnessed the scene afterwards say he was a one-man wrecking crew, shooting VC as he encountered them and blowing up bunkers with grenades."
