Charles David Brasier was born on July 4, 1947— He lived out the meaning of that day through service with the 173rd Airborne Brigade as a Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP) soldier in Vietnam.

On July 14, 1969—just ten days after his 22nd birthday—Brasier was killed in action while operating deep in hostile territory. LRRP teams took on the most dangerous missions: small teams, miles behind enemy lines, gathering intelligence, calling airstrikes, and surviving on silence, speed, and sheer nerve.

Korea. January 1953. With temperatures at night below freezing, the morning sunshine makes a lot of difference to a tired soldier. Marks of fatigue and cold show clearly on the face of Lance Corporal C. R. (Chilla) Moran of Collingwood, Vic, as he has a morning cigarette after a night's patrolling with the 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment (3RAR). (Jamestown Line Area)
