The Agony of War", mistakenly called “Death Watch” by many.

On August 14, 1966, PFC Daryl R. Corfman, Sycamore, OH, A Company, 4th Battalion, 503rd Parachute Infantry, 173rd Airborne Brigade (Separate), was killed by mortar fire during Operation Aurora Two. His squad leader, Sgt. Dan E. Spencer, Jr., Bend, OR, stares down at his fallen comrade. Sgt Spencer was later killed in action with the 1st Special Forces in 11/12/68. SP4 Ruediger Richter, Columbus, GA, (a former French Foreign Legionnaire) watches the sky for the MEDEVAC chopper, his battle- weary eyes to the heavens as to ask why?
