honoring you...

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died just two days before your 21st birthday is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

A Kind & Loving Soul

Steve was a hard working, soft hearted and quiet man. He was a loving and dedicated father to Jason E. English.
Steven's efforts for the U.S. Army cut his life, like thousands of others, much, much too short. Jason's life was never the same after the notification of Steven's death without the finding of Stevens remains. We love you dearly and carry you with us everywhere, every day.

Final Mission of PFC Steve C. English

SP4 David A. Moran and PFC Steve C. English were infantrymen serving with A Company, 4th Battalion, 3rd Infantry, 11th Infantry Brigade, Americal Division. In early February 1971, Alpha Company, 4/3 was airlifted from Chu Lai to Quang Tri to be part of Operation Lam Son 719. Lam Son 719’s overall objective was to have the South Vietnamese Army (ARVN) enter Laos and disrupt enemy supply lines on the Ho Chi Minh trail. A Company, 4/3, along with other American units, were trucked to Khe Shan airbase as a prelude to supporting the ARVN's along the Laotian border. On February 12, 1971, A Company, 4/3 was inserted into a hot landing zone near the Rockpile area and told to move down the ridge. Second platoon under the command of LT Larry Walker was put into the point position of the company for proceeding down the ridge. LT Walker decided to walk the point position due to his extensive combat experience. To make sure he had maximum firepower, he moved SP4 Moran (M60 gunner) into the slack (number two position) and assistant gunner PFC English in the third position. Radioman Jim Gaul was fourth, Larry Norlander fifth, and Bill Williams sixth, with the rest of A Company spread out in a line behind this group. An NVA soldier was spotted in a clearing up ahead, but disappeared before the Americans were able to engage him. They slowly advanced into the clearing, spaced 10-15 feet apart, weapons at the ready. LT Walker, Moran and English moved into the opening. When radioman Jim Gaul stepped into the clearing, a Chicom claymore mine was command-detonated followed by heavy AK-47 rifle fire. Everyone in the company hit the dirt and returned fire. LT Walker, Moran, English, Gaul, Norlander and Williams and several other troopers were wounded with Moran and English directly in the kill zone of the claymores blast. After the firefight subsided, medics advanced to the front to aid the wounded. Even with the valiant effort of the medics, Moran and English soon died of their wounds. A Medevac helicopter was called in to extract the dead and wounded. Due to the terrains rugged nature, all the wounded had to be lifted out by use of a jungle penetrator. They were flown to 18th Surgical Hospital in Quang Tri. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and information provided by Jim Gaul (March 2017)]
