My walk this morning was dedicated in honor of:
Army 1st Sgt Nelson Page Henry, Age 37 of Crossville, TN
KIA Vietnam on Oct. 28, 1967
Nelson was an infantry senior sergeant (parachutist) in C Company, 2nd Battalion, 327th Infantry, 101st Airborne Division. He was an 18-year veteran of the Army when his tour in Vietnam began on May 1, 1967. Later that year, on October 28, 1967, FSgt. Henry was killed while under hostile conditions in Quang Tin province, South Vietnam, at the age of 37. He was a recipient of the Purple Heart medal. FSgt. Henry was survived by his wife, Johnnie Ruth Fleming Henry. He is buried at Fort Donelson National Cemetery in Dover, Stewart County, Tennessee, and is memorialized on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial on Panel 28E, Line 91.
He will not be forgotten.
My walk went very well this morning. I want to thank everyone for the honks and waves in helping me honor this local hero. I was able to walk 7.41 miles
