Final Mission of SGT William M. Coomes
SGT William M. Coomes was a mortarman serving with H&S Company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines, 3rd Marine Division. On February 3, 1966, SGT Coomes was on one of the ten helicopters from Marine Medium Helicopter Squadron 261 (HMM-261) on a lift mission to move three companies of 2nd Battalion, 3rd Marines during Operation Double Eagle. Upon entering the drop-off zone at LZ Sparrow near Van Ly (1), about 6 miles northwest of Duc Pho, Quang Ngai Province, RVN, enemy sniper fire began targeting the dismounting Marines. It was at this time SGT Coomes suffered a fatal gunshot wound to the head. Three others were wounded in the incident and two helicopters were shot down. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]
