Sealed because they border west berlin. 13 august 1961 is when we woke up on a sunday and there was a wall there. The medics there to take care of anybody hurt along the wall. The fight against communism is ugly. From phillip, south dakota, 24yearold Patrick Brady stationed in berlin as an army medic. Another dash from the new red slave camp. The worst memory i have of those days in berlin was a training accident where a soldier fell off a tank and the tank ran over his head. I got sick when i looked at movies of needles for gods sake and training here. I couldnt deal with it. But that in the field its different. You see the body and every possible configuration. But it was the vietnam war that changed bradys life. In 1963, he was selected for Helicopter School and sent to camp walters in texas. A year later, he shipped off with the detachment of the 54th medical bre gad. It was the first of the two tours of duty and where the dustoff legend was born. Dustoff control. Dustoff control.
