Bless Captain Kuhlman
Wore my bracelet for years with Captain Kuhlman’s name on it. After the war, I had hoped he was among those that came back. Alas, not to be, but you are Forever in My Memory. Will not be forgotten....

Final Mission of 1LT Robert J. Kuhlman Jr.
At the beginning of 1969, North Vietnamese Army engineer units maintained a number of major in filtration routes into South Vietnam. Among them was Route 922 which paralleled the Laotian border and entered South Vietnam south of the Song Da Krong Valley, becoming Route 548. The North Vietnamese were determined to maintain and defend Routes 922 and 548. The volume of anti-aircraft fire increased during this same period. Allied aircraft on armed reconnaissance, interdiction, and direct support missions reported heavy 12.7mm, 25mm, and 37mm anti-aircraft fire with airbursts as high as 16,000 feet. On January 17, 1969, a USMC A-6A Intruder (#152586) from Marine All Weather Attack Squadron 242 (VMA[AW]-242) was conducting a night direct air support/armed reconnaissance mission when it was shot down by 37mm antiaircraft over the northern A Shau Valley. The squadron conducted both visual and electronic searches, but the plane and its pilot, CAPT Edwin J. Fickler, and navigator, 1LT Robert J. Kuhlman Jr., were not found.
