Born on the Fourth of July. Fallen ten days later.
Charles David Brasier was born on July 4, 1947—a date forever linked with freedom and sacrifice. He lived out the meaning of that day through service with the 173rd Airborne Brigade as a Long Range Reconnaissance Patrol (LRRP) soldier in Vietnam.
On July 14, 1969—just ten days after his 22nd birthday—Brasier was killed in action while operating deep in hostile territory. LRRP teams took on the most dangerous missions: small teams, miles behind enemy lines, gathering intelligence, calling airstrikes, and surviving on silence, speed, and sheer nerve.
Charles died doing one of the most perilous jobs the war demanded, and he did it with honor. Born on America’s birthday, he gave his life so others might see another.
