Memorial Day 2014

I served with two United States Army regiments in Vietnam, from November 1967 to November 1968 with the 12th Cavalry (Airborne), a unit of the 1st Cavalry Division, and from April 1970 to April 1971 with the 506th Airborne Infantry, a unit of the 101st Airborne Division.

On this Memorial Day when we honor those who sacrificed for us, I've listed below all those in those regiments who died during my tours of duty. For the 12th Cavalry, 195 soldiers, and for the 506th Infantry, 174. For the Virtual Wall entry for any of these 369 soldiers, click on the name.
