THE WALL OF FACES

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. You were born four days before me and died at 20 years of age. I am 74 and have lived a long and fulfilling life. It is tragic you never had that same opportunity. May you rest in eternal peace.

1 Apr 69  Morehouse, Michael J Mike was critically injured in explosion of claymore mine on the PSP LZ helo pad in Danang in 1969. He didn't pass until 14 Aug 2004 per VVMF per Coffelt Database of Vietnam Casualties. "Mike spent the majority of his adult life in VA hospitals trying to recover from the massive internal injuries he received. He died in 2005 in a VA hospital in Albany, NY. In 2008 the Army Casualty Review Board determined he (and 4 other VN vets) died as a direct result from wounds received in VN. His name was added to the VN Memorial Wall in 2009. His death was recorded on Non combat casualty. Mike was in Recon company with me and he ran one mission with me, and Don Shepard, in April 1969. If I recall correctly he spent several months on RT Kansas and then was on Hatchet Force for awhile. I could be mistaken about the Hatchett Force time. I have written a letter to the CG USASOC requesting Mikes name be added to the the Memorial Wall at Meadows Plaza and it will be added." v/r EldonEldon Bargewell, Maj Gen (Ret). Note: Michael was assigned to Command and Control North, 5th Special Forces Group (Airborne) when he was injured, ultimately resulting in his death. submitted by Robert L Noe, Cpt (Ret) CCN 69-70; webmaster of macvsog.cc
