LCpl. Clarence Stevens (Hawaii) on the left and LCpl. Frank Rodriquez.
Clarence Stevens had been medevaced on August 23rd. The last time I saw him was when he was carried on the chopper. The Corpsman had to give him CPR a couple of times, if I remember correctly. He wasn't actually hit, but was totally catatonic. When they carried him on the chopper he was as stiff as a board. One guy was holding his head and one his feet and there wasn't a bit of sag in his body. I guess after he was treated at Da Nang he was sent back to Ross and then back to the US. Nobody, as far as I know ever heard from him again. He was a real hoot to be around, as were most of the Hawiians we had in Golf company.
