Thank You
Dear Lt Richard Harlan,
Thank you for your service as a Field Artillery Unit Commander with the 1st Cavalry. I did the research on you on your 47th anniversary, sad. It is now Lent. The war was years ago, but we all need to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Ground Casualty
1LT Thomas A. Dellwo and 2LT Richard E. Harlan were artillery field commanders assigned to B Battery, 2nd Battalion, 19th artillery, 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). On March 15, 1971, a grenade was tossed into the officer billet at Bien Hoa Army Airfield where they were, killing both officers. Dellwo died on the day he had been scheduled to leave Vietnam. PVT Billy Dean Smith was charged with two counts each of murder and attempted murder of Dellwo and Harlan plus one charge of assault with intent to do bodily harm. At a court-martial conducted in the United States at Fort Ord, CA, in November 1972, Smith was found innocent of those charges. He did serve 20 months confinement and a bad conduct discharge for assaulting a military policeman who arrested him shortly after the grenade explosion.
