Context · from the records
What was happening
Seven names on the Wall carry the date May 11, 1972; six of them were lost in Binh Long Province. In May 1972, 113 Americans whose names are on the Wall died in the war.
He died in Binh Long Province while the Easter Offensive was under way. On 30 March 1972, North Vietnam launched its largest offensive since 1968, attacking across the DMZ, toward An Lộc and into the Central Highlands. By then few U.S. ground troops remained; American advisers and air power fought alongside the South Vietnamese.
