Walter Bray also spent 2 years in Malaya during which time he served in Borneo.
He was with the A.A.T.T.V team when he made his second 1yr service in Vietnam.
He was attached to the Phoenix Program Squad.
Phoenix utilized Military and American C.I.A. Intelligence.
Orders were to detain, interrogate, assassinate.
It was a dangerous mission, the events, the isolation, the unforgetable horror he saw and experinced every day would fill a book.
He spent some time living with a tribe of Montagnards near the Laos border.
He also had access to American B52 Bombers and other equipment.
He survived two helicopter crashes that were brought down under fire. The helicopters were American.
He spent several weeks on an American Hospital Ship before returning to duty with the Phoenix.
He was awarded The Vietnam Cross of Gallantry with Palm.
He was extremely well trained and dedicated to defending those who were unable to defend themselves.
He fought for freedom and justice for the oppressed and vulnerable against tyranny.
He was also a humanitarian. He managed to get medical supplies to even the most remote villages and delivered a baby safely for woman who was fleeing the enemy in the jungle.
He knew what it was like to survive eating rat when he could for many days when rations were non existant.
He knew what it was like to be under fire most of the time, unable to wash, unable to change clothes and being drenched so many times under those circumstaces by Agent Orange. It invaded his whole internal body and external skin. 
He was courageous,respected and a man of intregity.
Suffered internal injury and later suffered extreme Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.
Unfortunately he paid the ultimate sacrifice.
