Final Mission of PFC Quinn W. Tichenor
Operation Wheeler was a U.S. offensive operation launched on September 11, 1967, by the 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division against the North Vietnamese Army’s (NVA) 2nd Division to the northwest of Chu Lai in Quang Nam Province, RVN. The operation was a series of assaults and search and destroy missions against the NVA. In early October, command authority for the 1st Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Division, was passed to the 1st Brigade, and the battalion departed Duc Pho Base Camp in southern Quang Ngai Province for the Wheeler area of operations. On November 9, 1967, while A Company, 1/35th was conducting combat operations near Chu Lai, it was engaged by an estimated two companies of North Vietnamese Army regulars wielding machine guns and small arms. A heavy barrage of fire was received as the company approached a fork of a river. Seven American were killed in the battle and one reported missing. The lost personnel included PFC Robert L. Hale, SP4 Donald S. Holke, SP4 James R. Howard, SP4 Dennis R. Podgorny, PFC Billy Templeton, SSG Freddie L. Thomas Jr., PFC Quinn W. Tichenor, and SP5 Tyrone Wright. Another sixteen were wounded requiring evacuation. Several posthumous decorations for bravery were awarded: Holke, a radioman, received the Silver Star for bravery, and Howard, Podgorny, and Tichenor were awarded the Bronze Star.

A man I happened to see one day.
I was visiting Rest Haven, When you were Laid to rest. I had heard of Vietnam, but never paid much attention until I saw you, a casualty of that war. It broke my heart to believe such a man of your age was taken. I myself was in nam. but made it back home. Rest in Peace Quinn.
