Context · from the records
What was happening
Three names on the Wall carry the date June 12, 1972; he was the only one lost in Khanh Hoa Province that day. In June 1972, 88 Americans whose names are on the Wall died in the war.
He died in Khanh Hoa 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.
