Looking for men who fought at Dai Dong - December 7, 1967

Postby Jim Sheppard » Sat Sep 28, 2024 3:53 pm

I received the following email today from Dr Barry Tishler, Son of the late Thomas Bouchard who fought at Dai Dong with the 1/8 Cav on December 7th, 1967. Please be in touch with him if you were there and recall the incident.

Hello,

My name is Barry and I am Thomas Bouchard's son. On December 7 1967 he saved a bunch of guys from the 50th when he gained control of a disabled APC and then went on to eliminate enemy bunkers while driving them to safety. For his efforts and subsequent re-attack immediately after he received the Silver Star and then the Distinguished Service Cross for his actions on that day and during operation Pershing with 1/8. I am looking for the men on the APC that day...

Can you please help and reach out to your members and possibly see if we can locate anyone there that day?

Thank you so much and thank you for your service.

Dr. Barry Tishler
