On January 20, 1970, I saved a little 9 year old, one-armed, South Vietnamese girl from drowning in the Song Cu De River beneath Nam O Bridge on Highway 1 a few miles north of DaNang, while I was serving in Vietnam as a Marine machine gunner in a CAP Unit in the village of Ap Kim Lien from 15 November 1969 to 30 January 1970; and, I am searching for the little girl who in 2004 would be approximately 44 years old. Summary of Incident: I was riding across Nam O Bridge as a passenger in a USMC jeep; and, directly in front of us, a little one-armed South Vietnamese girl was riding her family's water buffalo across the bridge. Someone blew the horn on their vehicle and the noise frightened the water buffalo which made it sort of jump up and turn quickly in a circle causing the little girl to fall off of the animal into the swollen and turbulent river current beneath the large 5-span steel bridge. I jumped into the river to save her because I was sure that she would drown with only one arm. Approximately 20 or more individuals from various branches of the military Armed Forces pulled us from the river.
