NAME O RAMA
Circle of Trust
SFC Rafael A. Diaz arrived at Camp Hocmuth, an Army base in Phu Bai, in late August 1970. About 35 people were in the platoon, most of them dog handlers. Diaz, who was second in command, was tasked with motivating a platoon that had seen too many men and dogs lose life and limb as they walked point, searching for booby traps and mines. The Vietnam conflict was in its 12th year. Morale was low, and drugs were plentiful. Sergeant Diaz apparently had gotten on the bad side of some platoon members due to his style and efforts to enforce drug policies. Sometime in the early morning hours of November 30, 1970, a platoon member slipped from his bed and rigged a Claymore Mine on a sandbag wall near Rafael’s bunk. The blast sprayed shrapnel and blew a 5-foot by 5-foot hole in the billets where Rafael slept. Rafael was pronounced dead an hour later at a nearby hospital. SFC Diaz had been a victim of fragging, assassinated by a member of his own fighting unit. The Army quickly identified a suspect, but no charges were filed.
Please thank a Vietnam veteran when you see one. Please thank any veteran that you see. Combat, no combat, we all served and said goodbye to someone. We all sacrificed our freedom for this beautiful country but men not all of us get the same treatment and respect. Bed the change and show others how to give thanks when its not needed.
