Memories of Harry Henthorn

This was taken August 27, 1970, the the day before the Team Kenya mission (which was 8/28 in Vietnam, but recorded in all the official records as 8/29 because that was the date in the States).  That's Harry Henthorn with no shirt on, and me (Tom Sweetnam) in the wild shirt.  Harry was killed on that mission. This photo was recently given to Randy White by Mike Knappen, who was another team mate of ours on that mission. Mike was shot in the arm, so he only spent about 9 weeks in-country. Mike Knappen  had just purchased the camera that day (8/27) and had only taken 3 pictures in Vietnam (that's his entire collection from Vietnam -3 pictures) before he was evacuated. This was one of the shots he took, and must certainly be the last shot of Harry Henthorn while still alive.
