S/Sgt
Charles Hoyt was killed instantly in front of the married NCO Quarters. His
nickname was “Happy,” because he was always happy. The 2nd
platoon sergeant had been injured on the jump, and as the senior squad
leader, Happy was acting as platoon sergeant. He would be sorely missed, and
not forgotten, by his brothers in F Company.
