Title: The Story of Doc Swatek

Keywords: Hue, Tet, Corpsman

Sysnopsis:Steven Paul Swatek was someone I was named after but knew absolutely nothing about. The only thing I had heard about him from my childhood was that he stepped on a landmine and died in Vietnam. This past Memorial Day (2000) piqued my interest so I located the Vietnam Memorial Wall web site and searched for his name.
