This is an exceptional group to a gallant soldier.  I am glad it will be well cared for.

 

it would be interesting if one could find out why this paratrooper was assigned to a “leg” unit especially with the 173d Airborne Brigade and the 1st Brigade of the 101st Abn Div in near constant contact during this period.

I am assuming he he volunteered for Vietnam ? Not sure either I have few pages of info ! I requested his IDPF 

may just go for full file ?

What a great piece of history. Thank you for remembering the sacrifice of Lider!

 

I find it very interesting how his grave only has PH. I wonder why they did not put SSM on it.
