My condolences to the family I serve in Viet Nam March 68-69. My memory moment with Sgt Booker was April 4 1968 MLK's was murdered we all wept on a river Navy boat we refueled their flame throwers. Booker was a cool brother proud and a leader I learned the ropes of survival through him. God bless you Brother Booker.

On behalf of myself and the staff of the U.S. Army Chemical Corps Museum, please accept our condolences on the passing of Mr. Booker. There are many who still appreciate his service and sacrifice. May God assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost. With greatest respect,

I was SGT Booker's CO during the first half of 1970 when we served in the 184th Chemical Platoon, Direct Support, in the First Cavalry Division in Vietnam. I remember him as a big man with a big heart. My most vivid memory of him is watching him get ready to board a Huey helicopter for a "sniffer" mission. He was carring the sniffer machine under one arm and a machine gun under the other. I know of no other

I was SGT Booker's CO during the first half of 1970 when we served in the 184th Chemical Platoon, Direct Support, in the First Cavalry Division in Vietnam. I remember him as a big man with a big heart. My most vivid memory of him is watching him get ready to board a Huey helicopter for a "sniffer" mission. He was carring the sniffer machine under one arm and a machine gun under the other. I know of no other soldier with the strength to do that. It was awesome to behold, as it normally took two men to load one sniffer machine. My sincere condolences to all of his family, friends and loved ones.

Please forgive for typing "Mr. Brooks" instead of "Mr. Booker". Charles Brooks was a member of the same unit in Vietnam who was killed flying the same kind of missions SGT Booker flew. Chemical soldiers in Vietnam, and especially in the 1st Cavalry, were very much in harm's way. We didn't think much about it then, but now we shudder when we think of the danger we faced. SGT Booker was a good man; one of the best the Cavalry had.

During a hard time, he always was there to hold his people together and get the mission accomplished. during our time together all of our people went home whole thanks to Booker and the NCOS like him. May God rest his soul in his old beat up lawn chair watching the sunset atop my ammo bunker with his shades and a beer! May he be at peace.

The picture is as I remember him. The man was addressed as Sargeant Booker when I met him in Apr 68, I've never forgot him. All business as that Sargeant, on our off time, a few stakes, a few beer,and some good time. The Recon mission he flew were called Sniffer, at the time it was very new and high tech, not a problem for him. He will be missed by all.

Mr. Brooks and I were in the 184th Chemical Platoon at the same time. Ed Brown told me that Nathaniel helped rescure me when I was wounded in '68. I've been looking for him, but in the wrong places. Just so you, Trooper, the Cavalry chemical guys are getting back together and you'll always be one of us.
