Family

My grandparents still have a picture of Henry hanging in their home. I remember as a kid when my grandmother took me to the grave site and I was thinking how much of a hero he was for fighting for our country. Henry's mother and my grandmother are sisters (Henry is my 2nd cousin). In 2001 I had the opportunity to visit Henry's name at the wall and I will always cherish that moment. Heroes may be gone, but they are never forgotten.

Los Angeles County Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway

img
A portion of Sepulveda Boulevard/State Highway Route 1 in El Segundo near Los Angeles International Airport has been dedicated to the residents of Los Angeles County who served in Vietnam. This section of highway is now designated the Los Angeles County Vietnam Veterans Memorial Highway. Adopted by the California State Legislature in 2000, the highway honors the more than 350,000 California veterans who served in the Vietnam War, including the 5,822 killed or missing in action. Los Angeles County has the largest number of Vietnam veterans in California and 1,857 of its residents were killed or missing in action during that war. This memorial corridor provides a fitting and proper way for the residents of Los Angeles County to express their gratitude and appreciation for the sacrifices these Vietnam veterans have made for their country.

C 2/12 Cav

A good soldier, killed in a streambed in the mountains of the Que Son Valley with Fred Pine. He was missed by his fellow soldiers.

I would be interested in hearing from anyone who knew him.
