I have a long time friend, gun writer, and knife writer, Charles Karwan has passed away. I know he's a USMA graduate class of 1969 but was wondering if anyone knows of his SF stories in 'Nam. Talking with his family, they are still in grief but I am curious still on how one can find the basic information on what unit he was in and what he did.

He told some basic stories but never said much being a quiet professional he was.

It is sad he passed because I am very very sure he has some really interesting stories.
Go here and request a copy of his records. http://www.archives.gov/veterans/
