Ground Casualty
LCPL Gilberto Garcia was a lifelong resident of Corpus Christi. He graduated with the W.B. Ray High School Class of 1969, and enlisted in the Marines on April 30, 1969, prior to graduation. Upon arriving in Vietnam on November 6, 1969, he was a mortarman assigned to 1st Combined Action Group (CAG), Combined Action, III MAF., Late in his tour of Vietnam, LCPL Garcia attempted to jump out of a helicopter while enroute to the Da Nang brig after his apprehension for murder and aggravated assault. Upon examination by a psychiatrist, he was found to be “dangerously psychotic.” No legal judgement was ever made in the murder case against him as Garcia had hanged himself September 1, 1970, while in pretrial confinement.
