PFC Dannie James Brewington, Vietnam Veteran, Native of Broadway, NC.
Private First Class Dannie James Brewington was a casualty of the Vietnam War. As a member of the Army Selective Service and a Draftee, PFC Brewington served our country until July 19th, 1966 in South Vietnam. He was 21 years old and was not married. Dannie died from multiple fragmentation wounds from a mine. His body was recovered. PFC Brewington is on panel 09E, line 036 of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. He served our country for one year.
The Boi Loi Woods lay about 25 kilometers northwest of Cu Chi. Like the nearby Ho Bo Woods, the Boi Loi was a long-time sanctuary for VC (and increasingly NVA) forces. When the 25th Infantry Division arrived at Cu Chi in early 1966 a major objective was to reduce the value of these areas to the enemy - and that meant extensive search-and-destroy missions. On 19 July 1966, Company A, 1st Bn, 27th Infantry was conducting such a mission in the Boi Loi Woods when it was ambushed by a main force VC battalion. Twenty-four Americans died in the bitter fight which followed. PFC Brewington was one of those killed.
He was the son of Mr and Mrs Jesse Gray Brewington and Mrs Nellie Myrie McNeill Brewington, PO Box 342, Broadway, NC.
He served with the Company A, 1st of the 27th Infantry, "Wolfhounds", 25th Infantry Division, "Tropic Lightning", USARV.
He was awarded The Combat Infantryman's Badge(CIB), The Purple Heart Medal for his combat related wounds, the Vietnam Service Medal, The Vietnam Cross of Gallantry and The National Defense Service Medal.
