About ROBBIE
Veteran
Senior Master Sergeant Robert Clark served 22 years in the United States Air Force. His service included being air traffic assistant at Da Nang Air Base, Vietnam, between 1971-1972. While in Vietnam, he helped raise money and obtain supplies for the China Beach Orphanage. After raising funds for the orphanage, Clark realized it was still in need of help. He eventually succeeded in requesting donated medical supplies for the orphanage. A month later, he got a call from an irate colonel who accused him of smuggling drugs into Vietnam. Eventually the word spread that this delivery wasn’t for the troops – it had been delivered for the orphanage. Sgt. Clark passed away in 2023.
