My name is Ron Boussom. I am a writer doing background research for a book about my friend, A1C Kenneth E. Baker Jr, Weather Observer, 30WS, Det 13, Binh Thuy AFB who was killed in the weather observation cab of the control tower by a direct hit from a 75mm recoilless rifle shell during a VC artillery attack on March 22, 1968.
An air traffic controller in the tower ops room above the cab was first to respond, and radioed the fire station beside the tower for emergency assistance. Four firefighters were sent up to the tower to retrieve his body. After bringing him down, medics from the USAF 632nd CSG DISPENSARY UNIT arrived in an ambulance and took him to the dispensary, where a doctor(s) and/or medics prepared his body for shipment north to Tan Son Nhut mortuary facility the next day.
There are no existing records for the 632nd CSG DISPENSARY UNIT in any of the semi-annual periodic histories sent from Binh Thuy to Tan Son Nhut AFB, or anywhere else for that matter. I am hoping the actual medical staff who were on call that night will see this and respond or, those who know who they were. If those men are still alive, I need to know what they saw and heard that night.
Short of that, I am also hoping to hear from any airmen in any unit at Binh Thuy in 1968 who might know the names of those medics and/or doctors, or still have medical papers from the dispensary with signatures of the dispensary personnnel who were at Binh Thuy between January and April of 1968.
This book is for the Baker family. They have been missing details of his death at Binh Thuy for the past 45 years. If there is anyone out there who can help, please be so kind as to contact me at the phone number or email address below, ASAP. My heartfelt thanks and deepest gratitude to VMAM for its compassion and generosity in providing me the opportunity to post this notice.
