Philip A. Ferro was a fellow Grover Cleveland High School Class of 1964 graduate and we became fellow soldiers in 2nd Platoon, Charlie Company, 4th/47th Infantry Regiment, 9th Infantry Division after we were drafted May 17, 1966. The 9th I.D. was reactivated for combat in South Vietnam. Before being drafted, Phil married his high school sweetheart, Sandy and they had a 1957 Chevy. Tragically, Phil was killed on July 11, 1967, along with Sgt. George Smith, Marion "Butch" Eakins, Wayne King, ad Fred Kenney of our 3rd Platoon. This song was written by me, Bill Reynolds, and my pal Mario Rodriguez and we had it recorded. This version was created by my friend Eric Harvey, son of fellow Charlie Company trooper, Gene Harvey. Eric managed to hire professional musicians to greatly enhance our original version performed by my amateur band, R & R. Son Mike was on drums, me on Rhythm guitar, Son-in-law Guy Henry on Bass, and Mario on vocals.
