Here's a photo I have of Charlie Company, 1/5th Cav.  The photo was taken at Bien Hoa about November 1970.  The company was formed for an awards ceremony during a one week stand-down.  Several members of the company received decorations with the main one a Silver Star being awarded to SSG James "Pop" Fowler.  The individual whose back is to the camera is the battalion commander, LTC Bill Burkhardt.  The company commander saluting is CPT Bob Parrish ("Charlie Oscar").  SSG Pop Fowler is the "not so pretty" individual seen over Parrish's left shoulder.  There were more people in the company, but this was all that we could round up for this formation.
