ROBERT JOSEPH DUPELL JR.
|
I served with Bob Dupell. We were in the same squad (track)
together '69/'70. I remember him as a great guy and a pleasure to
serve with. We lost him on an AP one night and I can remember that the
whole platoon was broken-up when the CO told us of his fate that morning.
Their wasn't a dry eye in the bunch. Our medic tried everything possible
under heavy fire to save him. The dust-off was rapid but he just didn't
make it. I think I took this photo about a week before he died.
