"Doc" Teddy Whitton was a special Medic who gave his life trying to save lives of members of the 4 Bn, 12th Infantry, 199th Inf Bde, during a major battle north of Saigon on December 6th, 1967. Ted only had days to go before he was to leave county, however, he volunteered to go out to assist wounded members of A and B Companies, 4/12.
God Bless Ted and his family.
13 Nov 2004 It is now November 11, 2004 and I still remember "Doc" Ted Whitton as if it was just yesterday, yet the last day I saw him was on December 6, 1967. Ted left our base camp to go to the aid of the soldiers of the 199th as they fought a major battle somewhere north of Long Bien, Vietnam. Ted did not have to go that day as he was about to leave Vietnam but did so as he knew he would be needed by the wounded. We will always remember his giving his life to save others and pray for him and his family.
