Final Mission of SP4 Donald L. Martinez
During March and April of 1967, elements of the 919th Engineer Company were providing mine sweeping support to 11th Armored Cavalry Regiments conducting route security missions for convoys on National Route 13 between Lai Khe and An Loc, RVN. On a daily basis, the Company supervised and helped clear the roadway. They destroyed over 200 meters of enemy tunnel complexes, constructed two river fording sites, and detected and removed five enemy mines not previously encountered which were forwarded to Higher Headquarters for further evaluation. On April 14th, a grenade and Claymore mine attack was carried out by the enemy against the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment’s staging area in Long Binh. One of the 919th Engineers, PFC Albert P. Cleveland, was killed and three other engineers were killed. Three members of the 11th Armored Cavalry were also killed. They included SP4 Royd S. Kerley Jr., SP4 Donald L. Martinez, and PFC William J. McCue. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org and “Unit History, 919th Engineer Company (Armored) 13 April 1966 - 31 December 1967” at ttu.edu]
