SFC Philip R. Chassion (Clarkesville, TN) pre-briefs members of his Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP) team. The LRRP team was preparing to move by helicopter into Viet Cong territory to gather vital intelligence. The mission was conducted as part of Operation “Harrison” near Tuy Hoa, Republic of Vietnam. One of Chassion’s Soldiers used a camouflage stick to write “POP” on the top of his head. MSG Chaission was later killed in action on 2 February 1968, during his second tour.
