Postcards | Pioneer PBS

Lyle Bowes, a South Dakota resident, dropped out of college and signed up for the war. Upon meeting Gene Murphy, the two became fast friends and were able to stick together from induction through their tour in Vietnam until Murphy was wounded just 30 days before he was scheduled to return to the United States. On patrol in the jungles of Vietnam in 1969, their unit came under fire from NVA forces, wounding Murphy and five others. Lyle, moving in to help the wounded, found Murphy and stayed with him overnight until the wounded could be extracted by helicopter 14 hours later.
