Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. I'm a singer who was only at the 510th for a short time. While there, I roomed with Colleen McMurphy and hooked up with Boonie. I later left when I got an offer from Johnny Grant to tour with him.
2. I'm an airman who is a reporter. I sensed a story behind the incident which occurred on a patrol that Boonie and Sweetness were on. My meddling caused there to be an investigation which could have resulted in a court martial for Boonie, but instead, he was awarded a medal. My father the senator even came to China Beach to present it to him. When I later left for a job in the states, Colleen McMurphy and I flew together because she was going home to see her ailing father.
3. I was in love with Colleen. I realize that could be one of quite a few guys, but I spent one glorious night with her. Well, yeah, that could also be one of a few guys. But I never lied to her about being married or made her think we had no future. I would have married her if she had felt the same about me. They called me the Dog Man, which is how Colleen knew I was among the injured at the hospital later on, she saw my dog.
4. I was born in Vietnam and I hear my mother was a prostitute or something. I lived over there with my nanny the first eight years of my life, and then my mother put me on a helicopter and sent me to her friend Boonie. He and his wife adopted me.
5. I worked in the Graves Registration Unit, or the morgue, and I was always there for my men when they needed me. I dated a lovely Vietnamese woman named Mai who worked on the base.
6. I came to Vietnam as a Red Cross worker, but my real mission was to find my brother Rick, who came over here to fight. It had been awhile since we heard from him. When I did find him, I wished I hadn't because he had become a drug dealer and black marketeer, and not the big brother that I remembered.
7. My dad fought in Vietnam, I never knew my mother. One day someone just left me with my dad and said my mother had died. He had a hard time accepting me, but when he left to go back to the world, he went through a lot to be able to take me along.
8. I'm a French doctor, and yes, I was also smitten with Colleen McMurphy. But she wanted things that I didn't, like to get married.

10. I too loved Colleen McMurphy. She found out I was married and didn't want anything more to do with me. Then I was shot down and held captive by the VC. After my friend and I escaped, we were taken to the 510th. All the feelings between Colleen and myself were still there but I found out my wife Maggie was pregnant.
