Dear PFC Richard Hilgart, Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. I did the research on you on your 52nd anniversary, sad. This week is the 75th anniversary of D-Day, and we should remember all of you who served. Watch over the USA, it still needs your courage. Rest in peace with the angels.

Private First Class Richard Peter Hilgart, Served with Company B, 4th Battalion, 47th Infantry Regiment, 9th Infantry Division.

Of the1621 Vietnam casualties, we have located 1100+ families as of the date of this entry. We are now researching the men and women from the State of Illinois who gave their lives in the Vietnam War.
