LCpl. Youngkin serving with Company E, 2d Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st MARIV (Rein) FMF.
During Operation PRAIRIE on a sweep to the northwest to their objectives in the vicinity of the Razorback, Company E and F engaged the NVA and were hit with heavy automatic weapons, rifle fire and RPG's (Rocket Propelled Grenades). Company F had four men wounded and withdrew from their advance requesting artillery for support against the enemy fortified positions.
Company E, reported four men killed in action but were unable to withdraw until the artillery barrage hit the NVA forcing them to cover enabling the Marines to pull back and consolidated their positions. Ordered to break contact to allow Marine air and artillery to target and blanket the area with ordinance, both units moved their perimeters southward to an area between the Razorback and the Rock pile.
PFC Youngin was one of the casualties he was killed in action as a result of fragmentation wounds from a hostile explosive device
Casualties: were,

Liberty " buddy "
WOW, we had many memories of trips from Lejeune and Liberty in the Med. Joe and I met your mother, sister and brother when they visited SC before Donna and I moved to California for me to go to DI school. I remember the note you put on your locker when we left Lejeune, " gone to the war, won't be back "
