In June, 1964 Team A-312 along with other SF soldiers departed Okinawa for a 6 month TDY to Vietnam. The junior medic Sp/4 George Underwood 21 years old was killed in a batallion sized ambush on July 23, 1964. His replacement also from the 1st SFG (Abn) was Sp/5 Ricardo Davis. He served as a medic on A-312 for the remainer of the tour, which included The Montagnard Uprising in September 1964. Davis remained with SF and was promoted to SFC. and while on a tour that began March 20, 1969 with S O G , He and other team members went missing. On July 11, 1974 The Army declared him a Hostile Casualty, Died while missing, Ground Casualty; Body Not Recovered. He was 33 years old when he became a casualty. The Senior Medic on my Team A-333 in 1964 was Donald J. Fawcett he was killed when the helicopter he was in was shot down on July 3, 1966. May They All Rest In Peace. That is my recollection of a few of the Special Forces Medics I served with, It's been a long time but I have not forgot them...Tom Kelly
