I served with Charlie Sims at Kanoehe Marine Base in Hawaii prior to going to Chu Lai, Vietnam and was fortunate to have his M-60 machine gun team assigned to our platoon in both A-1-4 and E-2-7; 1965/1966. Since we both were from Georgia, I can remember conversations shared about our lives, families, communities and life's experiences. Cpl. Sims was always an encouragement to everyone who knew him and he served his Country and his Corps with honor, bravery and commitment. Even though I had been med-evac'd out-of-country just days prior to his death ... upon hearing that he had been killed in action, I cried. I will always remember Charles Wayne Sims and am pleased to see that his community has chosen NOT to forget him. As a wise old man once said, "No one ever dies until they are forgotten".
