I received the following message from Alice Manning Bowers, sister of "Doc" Manning, and I
think it should be shared with all of those that knew Bob "Doc" Manning in Viet Nam.
Message from Alice Manning Bowers,
Dear Kevan,
Thank you for the kind words and thoughts. I work with Brett Barham and he informed me
that you were the one that sent the message out to Charlie Co. notifying them of Bob's
death. Bob never spoke of Vietman and I had no idea the things that he had done while in
Vietman. Thank you to you and all the guys for sharing your stories. I've always been proud
of my brother and now after hearing some of stories it makes me appreciate him for his
strength and strong will to live even more. I truly appreciate your kindness Kevan.
Thank you,
Alice Manning
Brett Barham was one of the 1st Echo Company troopers when it was formed in mid 1968.
