Captain Gerard Palmer, K Troop, 11th ACR Vietnam, commanding, was my commanding officer. I served under his command briefly as my tour of duty was completed with K Troop shortly before he was killed. I returned home to Portsmouth, NH on April 9, 1969 for a 30-day leave before returning to K Troop on May 18, 1969. When I arrived at K Troop's orderly room at Blackhorse base camp I was informed of Captain Palma's death. I was saddened to hear this terrible news. Jerry, I wish I had known you better in life but I know one day I will know you well in death. Captain Palma is remembered by his fellow K Troopers at http://www.ktroop.com/HonorRoll/palma.htm |
