The Navy squadron flight surgeon had a special interest in psychiatry and frequently volunteered for duty in the Vietnam countryside, where he provided medical treatment to villagers. Lewis, 30, was assigned to Marine Air Group 13 of the 1st Marine Air Wing. He died on January 31, 1968, at Chu Lai Air Base in Quang Nam Province the day after the Viet Cong launched the TET offensive. The lieutenant had attended Albert Einstein College of Medicine at Yeshiva University in New York. Source: Philadelphia Daily News 10/26/1987

I remember...
I remember so well. The 122mm rockets came thundering in about 0400. The final count was over 50. MAG-12's bomb dump went up like an atomic bomb. As I reached VMFA-314's Operations hooch, I heard the news about Doc Lewis (our Flight Surgeon). His bunker took a direct hit, and he was killed instantly. Doc Lewis was an outstanding person. I will never forget that morning, or Doc Lewis. Semper Fi. Steve Dennstedt Sgt USMC (Operations Chief, VMFA-314) Chu Lai, RVN (1967-1968) Vice President
