GRP 29- This nation has lost a piece of history in the quiet of the night. Master Chief (ret.) Tom Eagles was one of the most highly decorated Corpsman of the Vietnam War with service spanning three decades. Doc Eagles is responsible for a lot of changes in combat medicine over the past 50 years. He spent a number of years working with North American Rescue helping develop life saving equipment, and then having it integrated into the US Military. Here is an excerpt from the episode with DJ Struntz from North American Rescue telling a story from the Master Chief. DJ Struntz: They were on a Long Range Reconnaissance deep inside enemy territory at night. They didn’t have all the night vision that we have now. They were hunkered in and a Tiger came in and grabbed one of the guys from his patrol. They sat there in the dark surrounded by Viet Cong listening to this guy scream until the Tiger killed him. They listened to him crunching away all night while the Tiger ate the poor guy, and they couldn’t do anything because they were surrounded by enemy troops.
