I got so wrapped up in searching for info last night...I just never even blogged it.
Let me explain.
I was looking through a list of names and dates of capture or "missing" (and/or assumed KIA).
Upon seeing a name that had a date I connected to, I found this site and ordered a memorial bracelet.
I felt it was only right to find out as much as I could.
I found his duty stations, ribbons, badges, and ribbon bars.
I know he was from South Carolina and a few other things.
His length of service was 3 years.
His unit was LCM-873, DET CUA VIET, NAVSUPACT DANANG, USNAVFORV.
The Cua Viet provided fuel, ammo, supplies, and construction material to Marine and Army combat forces while being continuously under attack for most of the war by the NVA.
On December 9th, 1968, rockets, mortars, and artillery hit the offshore location and this Seaman was assumed killed, but his body was never recovered.
He was 21 years old.
If you visit The Wall, please pay tribute to Panel 37W Line 076.
