Gerald Douglas Spradlin
. . Contributed By Ken Hunsucker On Tuesday, June 14, 2005
I would like to make contact with the family of WO Gerald Douglas Spradlin, KIA in Vietnam, May 29, 1972. He was the pilot of a helicopter that was shot down and my 1st cousin, Sgt. Larry K. Morrow was the observer. Larry was never located and is still listed as MIA. My uncle (Larry's dad) had been in contact with the Spradlin family but he has since died and now I would love to contact someone in the family.

Vietnam on 10/8/1963
. . Contributed By Mike Farr On Wednesday, July 13, 2005
someone please help me I'm looking for anyone who served at this time and was in the same unit as my cousin I never knew him as I am only 35 years old and from family I heard he was a true Marine. He was killed in action. this is what I have on him. cousin Sgt. Larry Duane Jameson-KIA in Vietnam on 10/8/1963. On 10/8/1963, a USAF pilot had been shot down (Captain Dean Wadsworth) about 40 miles south of Danang, South Vietnam. Two Marine helicopters of the 1st Marine Air Wing (HMM-361) were immediately dispatached from the Danang airfield to effect a search-and-rescue mission. Due to the urgency, we have never been able to sort out who was with each helicopter - but we know that there were a total of 9 Marines and 3 Navy Corpsmen onboard. They had arrived at the position of the downed pilot, and one of the helicopters started taking ground fire as it started to descend. These hits caused it to go into a tail spin, and it rotated into the second helicopter - causing both to crash/burn, killing all 12 men. The carnage was so bad that two of the remains (1 Marine, 1 Corpsman) were never found/identified, and subsequent searches for the pilot were unfruitfull - he also is listed as one of our MIA's. This incident became the largest number of US servicemen killed in the war up to that date on a single day. What's interesting is that Larry Jameson was trained as a Avionics Technican - and as the war escalated, he would never have been onboard for this type of mission - but he, along with 3 other technicians had gone along on that fateful day.a true Marine. God Bless all who has served or lost family members. Mike USMC/1988-1998 Please if anyone has any info please get in touch thank you and god bless, Mike

 
 

E5 Green Edward Miller Jr KIA 5/5/70
. . Contributed By Regina Inez Williams Miller On Thursday, July 14, 2005
I am so sorry that I never told you I would die without you. I am so sorry I did not honor my widow hood properly. I wish I had not tried to be such a good Soldiers wife and had let myself cry and rant and rave when you told me you had your orders for Nam. I wish I had screamed when the soldiers told me you were gone. I was so concerned about not letting anyone know how I felt. I though it was private. Pretending nearly killed me. Green, I wish you were here, I still love you. Regina from Texas

D/1/1 Marines RVN 1967
. . Contributed By Jim Fife (D1/1 F.O. from Dec 66 - Oct 67) On Wednesday, September 07, 2005
Searching for anybody who was with Delta Co. 1st Battalion 1st Marines during the Apr-Jul 1967 time frame and can help me find information about SSGT Carnes (maybe spelled Karines). KIA when he stepped on a land mine while on patrol near the tressel. I was suppose to be the F.O. on that patrol. But since I had just come in from a night patrol, he selflessly took my place and died. I need help from anybody who has information concerning this Marine. Please help me find him on THE WALL, or any family information. He saved my life that day.
