Troopers,
PVT Sylvestre L. Primous, Jr. is one of us "boat troopers" from 3r. Platoon, Bravo Co. (Lt. Cook's). If I have my facts correct, he is pictured in Row Two (from bottom), third trooper in from left side (tall black guy)--between Pfc. Gary D. Colledge (WIA 2/19/68) and Pfc. Oscar Hardison (KFF 2/4/68).
Sylvestre was a PFC and got busted for some unknown reason after we arrived in Vietnam in Oct. 1967. I probably have info. on what happened somewhere in my archives.
From the notes in my journal, I have Sylvestre being among the wounded in a contact on April 13, 1968--along with SSG Arthur Terronez, SSG Eddie Stweard, Sgt. Steve Cook, SP4 Mark Needham, Pfc. Joseph Pelley, Pfc. Larry W. Isenman. I'm confused about him mentioning a hit-and-run incident. Sylvestre was medvaced to our 568th Medical Clearing Station on LZ Betty. He was released the following day to return to his unit. If anyone has any additonal info. on what I have posted, please let me know.
Sylvestre, if you read this, please send me an e-mail
