“I had a medic in my platoon. His name was Doc Tommley. He wouldn’t carry a firearm. The doc was married. Before he joined the service and was sent to Vietnam he had apparently studied for the ministry.
Anyway, our mail was flown in on a chopper this one day. The doc got a letter from his wife. She included a picture of herself in a négligeé, perched on a bed. She was a very attractive lady and the picture was tastefully shot. I was sitting close-by reading my mail when the doc walked up to me and dropped the picture of his wife in my lap. Then he said, ‘Can you get me a rifle to carry. I want to make it home to my wife.’ Before the doc left Vietnam he killed at least a few enemy soldiers with his .45,” 1st Lt. Donihue, Alpha Co., 2nd BN, 327th Regiment, 101st AB, A-Shau Valley, Vietnam 1968 .
