John "Doc" Doherty
mother telling me that he had been killed in
action. She also referred to an article in Time
magazine about his being killed.
John was a great person and very intelligent. Hope
this helps you out a little.

He was 6th company USNA. We went through
artillery school together. He went straight to Nam
and I went by way of Air Observer School. Ironically
and sadly, when I arrived in country on 4 July, I
replaced Doc who was KIA near Con Thien on 2
July. I replaced him in D/2/12. He was assigned as
an FO with 2/9 when they were overrun near Con
Thien the irst week of July, '67. The battery
commander who was killed on our irst day on Con
Thien was Ed Brown, USNA class of 1958.
