On 29 September 1967 elements of 2nd Bn, 327th Infantry and 2nd Bn, 502nd Infantry encircled an NVA unit at Hiep Duc City in Quang Tin Province. Sixteen US soldiers were killed in the ensuing fight to include SP4 Robert Anderson who was hit while evacuating a wounded member of the 327th Infantry:


George's family did call him Skipper. They loved boating and George was a "sailor" from a very early age. Attached is an announcement from "Merrick Life", a local newspaper with a picture of George. Notice that he wanted friends and family to write.
