I was his platoon leader: Honor, Respect. Remembering Sgt Brewington as my platoon sergeant. On 02 Feb 67 we were standing shoulder to shoulder with our backs to the perimeter. He was showing me a photo of his little girl. Suddenly there was an explosion just outside our position. We both went down. I got up, he didn't. He was killed. The sweet face of that little girl stays with me. I don't have any photos of him. Sgt Brewington was the epitome of a professional soldier and paratrooper.
