Final Mission of 1LT Ronald D. Hines

1LT Ronald D. Hines was a Ranger-qualified armored reconnaissance operations and training staff officer assigned to SD-6625, Army Element, MAAGV. On April 24, 1964, 1LT Hines was killed during fighting in the vicinity of Kien Long near the southern tip of Vietnam during a battle between ARVN forces and two Viet Cong battalions. 1LT Hines was accompanying an ARVN patrol in M113 armored personnel carriers (APC) when they ran into heavy Viet Cong fire three miles northeast of Kien Long. The ARVN forces pushed forward and seized the first line of VC foxholes. Bogged down in heavy terrain, the crews dismounted their M113’s and advanced on foot against an enemy held tree line 150 yards ahead. When the ARVN commander was hit in the left knee, 1LT Hines dragged him into a foxhole and then helped carry him back to their APC under fire. He was struck by a bullet in the chest one yard from the APC. He died instantly. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and “Soldier Died a Hero’s Death.” Pacific Stars & Stripes, May 4, 1964]
