My Uncle

Uncle Mac,
I was just a baby when you were taken from us. I, of course, do not remember you but I do know that you held and played with me and gave me my nick name- Little Aim which everyone in my family always called me. I was told by my dad that I loved playing with your dog tags when you would hold me. I sure wish I could have known you as an adult and that you could have known my husband and children. My dad is with you know and i hope that y'all have had a joyful reunion. He loved you so and missed you all his life as we all did. Thank you for your service to our country. I will see you again one day, until then RIP.

Your niece,

Little Aim

Final Mission of LCPL Ernest M. Barber

LCPL Ernest M. Barber was an Antitank Assaultman serving with M Company, 3rd Battalion, 7th Marines. On August 27, 1970, LCPL Barber was on a squad-sized patrol with his unit two miles southwest of Que Son in Quang Nam Province, RVN. While walking down a trail, a booby-trapped M26 grenade was detonated. Barber suffered fatal injuries in the blast, and another Marine was wounded and evacuated. The booby-trap was reportedly two feet off the trail with a trip wire tied to a tree on the other side. The Marines on the patrol were wearing flak jackets and helmets and spaced approximately 10 yards apart. A search of the immediate area resulted in negative findings.
