Beautiful pictures, Doc. I was wondering if you have any of Ray Purifoy(Co B, 1/7th Cav) who was killed Sept 5, 1969 along with Doc Harwell during a nighttime mortar attack. This is Mike Paestella's description of that night:05 Sep 69 Bu Dop is located very close to Cambodia in Phuoc Long Province and we were operating close to it. On this date, we had been moving all day and it was getting dark, so we set up in an old NDP. Just before darkness closed in, a flare shot over our position, so three of us, platoon Sgt., Ray Purifoy, myself and I think Mark Creg went out of the NDP to see where the flare had come from. We found some kids who had located some abandoned supplies. That was a warning that we should have moved the NDP. Later that night, we were hit with 81 mm mortars which they walked up and down the company position. Two men were killed, Sgt. Purifoy and our medic, Gary Harwell. The entire 3rd platoon CP was wounded plus several members of each rifle squad as were most members of the company CP. --Mike Paestella It would be a miracle if you had any pictures of Ray, but his baby sister Linda Borth(Dallas)would love to have a memory of her big brother. Thanks.
