Context · from the records
What was happening
Ten names on the Wall carry the date February 7, 1965. In February 1965, 54 Americans whose names are on the Wall died in the war.
The record places this loss in North Vietnam, outside South Vietnam — most often the sign of an air crew lost over the North or the Ho Chi Minh Trail.
His remains had not been recovered when the 2008 record was compiled. The Defense POW/MIA Accounting Agency continues to search for Americans still missing from the war; families can find case information through dpaa.mil.
