Letters to the Andujar
Family As a young draftee, serving in the Third Platoon,
Delta Company, 4/12 199th Light Infantry Brigade in Vietnam, I accumulated
many vivid memories which have lingered for over thirty years. Accounts and
letters are available concerning my time in Vietnam and the fire fight on
June 13, 1969 in which the Sergeant was killed. Look for the publication of
that account in the June 2002 issue of Vietnam Magazine. SSgt. Andujar's name is listed on the Vietnam Veteran's Wall, Panel 22W --
