Context · from the records
What was happening
Two names on the Wall carry the date July 26, 1972; he was the only one lost in Binh Thuan Province that day. In July 1972, 53 Americans whose names are on the Wall died in the war.
MACV Advisers, his unit in the record, lost 7 of its members that month.
He died in Binh Thuan 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.
