What a great memory for all us who served with Sp4 Cole. On this day we were on a foot path of a slope with a lot of moss rock. when we looked left and down we could not see the ground through the jungle canopy and everything was wet and slippery so none of us were surprised when we heard Cole had slipped. Platoon Sgt. Charles Roberts (KIA 11/22/67) always contended that had Cole not slipped the VC would have let us hump on by and popped us from behind. Sp4 Cole always demonstrated a ‘gung ho’ attitude.
