Charles Frazier

Was drafted in 1966 and spent a year in Cu Chi Vietnam with the 4/23 (Mech) 25th Infantry Division, and came home in July of 1968

"I remember running into Lanny in Cu Chi South Vietnam.  It was such a great experience running into someone from your hometown.  I really don't think Baytown knows how many soldiers went to Vietnam.  I also ran into Dennis Underwood who was a chopper pilot, Ronnie Thompson, who was a door gunner for the 25th Infantry Division.  After finding these guys it was like home again, but the bad part was we had lost our innocence.  Welcome home all of you brothers."

  Charlie.
