AFVN's Harry Ettmueller [also captured at Hue] writes, "As for the man hid by priests it was John Bagwell an Army E-5 detached from the 1st Cav to AFVN HUE to start radio for the [First] CAV. We were going to become a Class A Station. His bud Steve Stroub was captured with us and then summarily executed while being led out of the area." Sgt.
