    “I am shoveling and Tanner is holding the sand bag. Tanner was well liked by all in the Company. This was one of the few times we were not out "humping" the boonies; but building a mortar fire base. The morning of Tanner's demise, I had talked to him. He had gotten a letter from his mother. She had said that she understood why he was there. He died that day [early Feb. 1970].”
