Context · from the records

What was happening

Ten names on the Wall carry the date February 3, 1966; four of them were lost in Quảng Trị Province. In February 1966, 513 Americans whose names are on the Wall died in the war.

The unit recorded as “311 ACS”, his unit in the record, lost 2 of its members that month.

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.
