Context · from the records
What was happening
Two names on the Wall carry the date June 23, 1972; two of them were lost in Pleiku Province. In June 1972, 88 Americans whose names are on the Wall died in the war.
The 1st Aviation Brigade, his unit in the record, lost 13 of its members that month.
He died in Pleiku 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.
