A Pacifist Medic Dies Beside a Soldier (March 12, 1967 Action between NVA Forces and Alpha Company, 2/35th) \"Just by pure coincidence, a staff reporter for the Kansas City Times by the name of Robert Pearman was at the Brigade Firebase when the contact (with Charlie Company, 2/35th) began. He asked for and got permission to join us in the field within hours of the battle ending. He interviewed a good number of us while everything was still fresh in our minds and wrote the following article published in the Kansas City Times, Thursday 23, 1967.\" (D. F. Butters) MSG Butters was the Operations Sergeant for the 2/35th Inf and generously donated this article. At the Cacti Association year 2000 reunion he gave the original newspaper article to Art Johnson, A 2/35, 1966-67, who passed it along to us so that the Original Photos could be included.
