THE WALL OF FACES

I think in July of 1968 your unit, MTT-2 and leader William C Cue came to our location at the airfield outside of Tam Ky along the Tam Ky river. I think you were with me and 5 Vietnamese PF's on an ambush on night. We encountered the lead element of a battalion of NVA. The incident report did not even mention our encounter but said there were about 40 VC. I had never heard the war whoops like that before or since except once on TV. You guys left and were overrun about a month later. Six of you died, including Cue, Rafiel Avila,Michael A Griggs, Peter J Lovan, Charles H Millner and 2 reactionary guys Larry Jamerson and Billy J Taylor.

In honor of your dedication and sacrifice to our Country, our Corps, and our CAP unit, on 8 August 2024 the CAP Unit Veterans Association will have a brick engraved with your name installed along the walkway of the National Museum of the Marine Corps, Quantico, Virginia, at the Dedication of the Combined Action Platoon Monument.
Thank you for your service to our Corps and Country.
Semper Fidelis.

Hello my name is Jaxon I am 6yrs old. For this Memorial Day my mom and dad took me to visit the Vietnam Memorial Wall here in Layton, Utah. They gave me a piece of paper to rub two names on. You were the first name I chose because your name is David like my dad. Then we took your name and information from the wall and looked you up so that I could learn more about you, your life, and your sacrifice. Thank you for helping keep our country free for me, my family, and everyone here.

Love,
Jaxon Woods
