I am on my IPhone, attempting to reply. I spoke with GTR & there will be speculation, no matter what is decided about a 50 year old occurance, "but" ( ya'll knew it was coming) Buddy Sturgis, a close personal friend of the General..."&"... A professional soldier, attached to General Westmoreland, and I spoke for 20 minutes about these subjects. Wally & I are going to be working on this historical & interesting knife (& project) for some time yet to come. What I have stated, thus far, are recounts and facts as they relate to this story, nothing more, nothing less.
I hope to have compiled everything sooner, rather than later. In the meantime, I am in the "Mike Mason" camp! I hope everyone appreciates what has been done so far and what will be done. Thanks again Wally.
Best, Capt. Chris
