Hi! Just for an intorduction, my name is Suzan. I am the 3rd child and first daughter of Erman "Mink". For over 28 years I have been a Dept of the Army or Navy civilian employee supporting soldiers and sailors. In these 28 years, I have met and in some cases have had the honor of working with former Vietnam Advisors. However, none who served with him when his unit was attacked. If there is anyone who knew my Dad and served in the same unit reads this post, please respond.
