Letter written to Captain Ed Smith
by Ambrose Ward, Eugene's Dad
after learning of his son's loss in Vietnam
Special thanks to Ceilia Stratton, the Curator of the 4th Infantry Division Museum
Fort Hood, Texas who was kind enough to send me a copy of this letter that
Captain Ed Smith had previously donated to the 4th Division's Vietnam Archives
To Ed Smith, A/2/12's CO in the Spring of 1967. We who served with you knew of your
professionalism and your loyalty to our unit. Thanks for the lead in locating this material and your
superior leadership as the unit was reorganizing after the Battle Suoi Tre
