SFC Wilbur Greene was a Unit Supply Sergeant serving with Headquarters & Headquarters Company (HHC), 1st Battalion, 11th Infantry, 1st Brigade, 5th Infantry Division. The 1st Brigade, 5th Infantry Division was sent to South Vietnam after the Tet Offensive as a replacement for a U.S. Marine Corps unit. The brigade, consisting of one battalion each of infantry, mechanized infantry, and armor served from July 1968 until August 1971 defending the Vietnamese Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in northern Quang Tri Province. As Supply Sergeant, Greene supervised the receipt, delivery, and inventorying of 5th infantry Division supplies and equipment. Four months before the Division returned to the U.S., Greene went on sick call for treatment of a chronic alcohol use disorder. He was admitted to the 18th Surgical Hospital at Quang Tri on April 8, 1971, where he expired at 7:45 AM the following morning from cardiac arrest. A seventeen-year veteran of the Army, Greene was 37 years old. His body was forwarded to the U.S. Army Mortuary at Da Nang where Graves Registration personnel prepared the remains for shipment back to his family in the United States.
