Honor Him
During Operation IMPERIAL LAKE A squad on patrol in the central Que Son Mountains searching the southeastern slope of Hill 493 in Duy Xuyen District found a cave. While securing the area prior to beginning an intensive search, a BT (Booby Trap) was tripped and exploded which in turn caused a loaded LAAW carried by PFC Ortiz to detonate. PFC Ortiz was killed as a result of multi fragmentation wounds and five Marines were also wounded by the twin explosions, three of whom required evacuation.

honoring you.....
Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. You died at 18 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.
