As Fathers Day is fast aproching I will rember Jimmy as he passed away Fathers Day 2002. He use to say how he hated the Corps but he would fight for it at the drop of a hat. He never forgot our time in Nam and he was so proud of all of us that were there. He thought of and remembered all of the men in "B" Co 3rd Shore Party Btn. I know his name is not on the wall but it still hirts just as much to have lost him. I am a better person for having known him and am proud to be able to call him Marine. God bless all of us that come home and he has a special lace in his hart for the ones that didn't make it back.

I don't believe national news will mention this

NNS030528-03. Sailors MIA from Vietnam War Found, Identified From the U.S. Department of Defense WASHINGTON (NNS) -- The remains of nine U.S. Navy crew members, missing in action from the Vietnam War, have been identified, and their remains are being returned to their families for burial. The nine are identified as Cmdr. Delbert A. Olson, Casselton, N.D.; Lt.j.g.s Denis L. Anderson, Hope, Kan.; Arthur C. Buck, Sandusky, Ohio; and Philip P. Stevens, Twin Lake, Mich.; Petty Officers 2nd class Richard M. Mancini, Amsterdam, N.Y.; Michael L. Roberts, Purvis, Miss., Donald N. Thoresen and Kenneth H. Widon, Detroit and Petty Officer 3rd class Gale R. Siow, Huntington Park, Calif. A group burial will be held at Arlington National Cemetery June 18, 2003. The nine departed Nakhon Phanom Royal Thai Air Force Base Jan. 11, 1968, aboard a Navy OP-2E Neptune aircraft for a mission over Laos to drop sensors which detected enemy movements. During its last radio contact, the crew reported they were descending through dense clouds. When they did not return to their home base, a search was initiated but found no evidence of a crash. Two weeks later, an Air Force aircrew photographed what appeared to be the crash site, but enemy activity in the area prevented a recovery operation. Between 1993 and 2002, six U.S.-Lao investigation teams led by the Joint Task Force Full Accounting interviewed villagers in the surrounding area, gathered aircraft debris and surveyed the purported crash site scattered on two ledges of Phou Louang Mountain in Khammouan Province. During a 1996 visit, team members also recovered identification cards for several crew members, as well as human remains. Full-scale recovery missions by the U.S. Army Central Identification Laboratory Hawaii (CILHI) in both 2001 and 2002 yielded additional remains, as well as identification of other crew members. More than 1,900 Americans are missing in action from the Vietnam War, with another 86,000 MIA from the Cold War, the Korean War and World War II.

Does anyone know Marine Michael Kennedy? He lived in California. He was in Sydney, Australia and then shipped out to Vietnam around 1968 I think. He was a gunner if I recall. He lived on Imperial Avenue in San Diego. I would like to find out what happened to him.
