COLUMBIA, S.C. – One day in November 1967, U.S. Army Chaplain Charles J. Watters’ unit was involved in heavy combat with the enemy in the vicinity of Đắk Tô, South Vietnam. Among many brave things he did that day, he personally helped two dozen wounded men off the battlefield. Seriously wounded himself, he was sent back with them to the aid station – which was subsequently hit by a 500-lb. bomb mistakenly dropped by an American aircraft. It was the worst case of friendly fire in the war. Father Watters was one of more than 40 Americans killed.
