D_Dutch Posted June 1, 2013 Share #1 Posted June 1, 2013 I have this grouping for almost a year now but due to the fact that contact with the family of the soldier did not really go well, I never posted this before. However, I have given it a lot of thought and decided to post it, only having "erased" the name of the soldier on everything. I hope nobody has a problem with that. The grouping includes all of his medals, photographs during his training and service in Vietnam, a lot of letters send to the mother after he was killed in action, newspaper articles and several documents regarding the posthumous award of his medals. First up are some of the photographs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KySoldier Posted June 1, 2013 Share #9 Posted June 1, 2013 Outstanding grouping!!! Do you know what unit he was in in Vietnam? God bless this brave soldier and keep him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurtA Posted June 1, 2013 Share #10 Posted June 1, 2013 Great grouping. I can understand you wanting to keep the name under the radar. Looks like some of the photos are from when he was with the 41st Infantry (2nd Armored Division) at Ft Hood, Tx. What unit was he with in VN?
