THE WALL OF FACES

Rest in peace friend. I will never forget the great friends I lost that day. God Bless You, Doc

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Bob W is especially poignant. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us.....

I was the radio operator on an Artillery forward observer team attached to Bravo company 1st Bn 4th Marines. There were 13 KIA that day including him, and 31 WIA including me. It was on Operation Granite, (Oct. 25 1967 to Nov. 6, 1967), a sweep of Hills 674 and 300 west of Hue. One of the many nameless firefights Marines in Vietnam engaged in, and for a single company, it was a heavy toll before we were pulled back and replaced by Delta Company On this Memorial Day, I remember him and the others who died that day.

From Bravo Company, Lieutenant John Dawson, HM3 Kenny Stommes ,LCpl David Betts; Cpl Robert Carlozzi, PFC Douglas Clemmons, PFC Michael Fonseka, LCpl William Hackett, Cpl Angus Hare, Cpl Eddie James, PFC Verne Johnson, LCpl Curtis Painter, LCpl Merrick Pierce, and Cpl Thomas Uhl.

I must mention Delta's contribution, another 2 KIA and 2 WIA. Delta came forward to replace Bravo and was tasked with retrieving the nine Bravo dead that had to be left behind. PFC Michael Angerstein and Cpl Eddie James of Delta died trying and along with two others WIA. They were pulled back to try again on the 28th. (They were successful).

Rest in peace with the angels.
