He was listed as MIA when the compound was over run by a NVA sapper unit north of Dong Ha. His remains were found under the hut where a satchel charge had gone off.
We had a great 5.70 Mile walk today. We walked up to the War Memorial Park down town. I want to thank all who honked, waved, and saluted in helping me honor this hero.
