Context · from the records
What was happening
Three names on the Wall carry the date January 10, 1973. In January 1973, 29 Americans whose names are on the Wall died in the war.
The unit recorded as “VA 115 USS MIDWAY CVA 41”, his unit in the record, lost 2 of its members that month.
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.
