Final Mission of PFC Harry A. Kelley

On July 15, 1967, elements of the 919th Engineer Company, 11th Armored Cavalry, were tasked with repairing a bridge on National Highway QL-1 near Soui Cat that had been washed out by monsoon rains. During the course of the road march to the work site, an enemy claymore mine was detonated against the Command Armored Cavalry Assault Vehicle (ACAV) resulting in the death of the Company Commander, CPT Donald J. Crocker, FSG Everett A. Herritz, PFC Harry A. Kelley, and PFC Donald Paskowitz. After a search of the immediate area failed to disclose any enemy soldiers, the remaining elements of the Company pushed on to complete their mission in spite of their loss. The following day the repairs were completed, and this vital supply route was once again open to traffic. Crocker was subsequently awarded the Bronze Star medal in connection with this mission. He was also posthumously promoted to Major. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and Unit History, 919th Engineer Company (Armored) 13 April 1966 - 31 December 1967 at vva.vietnam.ttu.edu]
