Joseph+Shandlay

Joseph Shandlay was a crazy red-headed Philly Irishman - a friend & good guy. Joe was originally at one of the Dets. - I think C but maybe Nha Trang. However, he was detached & worked in (MACV - ?) Special Ops Group (SOG) doing II of, I believe, Laos. Same class at Fort HaHa & rotated back to the World with me on Nov. 3, '67. Like many of us, Joe was in the 15th MI at Bragg after Nam. Most of the guys lived in the barracks incl. Joe & took off weekends to get off-post ASAP (I lived off-post, being married at the time). Joe was killed driving back to post one weekend. This was in 1968. If ever a guy LOOKED Irish, red hair & freckles, that was Joe. Peter Schlesinger
