REMEMBRANCES:

1LT. Thomas Eddy was promoted posthumously to Captain. He may have been the first casualty that the 6/27th Artillery suffered in Nam. He used to take a squad of guys and do a perimeter search every night around the base camp in Phouc Vinh. I think he was assigned to HQ Battery. While coming back into the base camp at Phouc Vinh he failed to acknowledge the gate guards demand to "halt who goes there!". When he failed to stop the guard fired three rounds from his M-14 into CPT Eddy's chest. For some reason I'll always remember when the news came down to us in Long Binh. If you remember, the 23rd Artillery Groups Personnel Section was with us at Service Battery there in Long Binh.

I well remember that night that Lt. Eddy was shot and killed. I had met the Lt. on several occasions and he was a fine officer.
