Ground Casualty
PVT Eddy R. Casey served with 2nd Platoon, A Company, 70th Engineer Battalion (Combat), 35th Engineer Group, 18th Engineer Brigade, U.S. Army Republic of Vietnam Engineer Command. Casey was a “Pioneer,” a soldier employed to perform engineering and construction tasks. During 1969, the 18th Engineer Brigades committed nearly one-half of its total effort to operational support missions in Military Region II. Combat and construction engineers worked on airfield and bridge repairs, minesweeping missions, base camp defenses, aircraft revetments, tactical roads, and land clearing. The 70th Engineer Battalion (Combat) performed road construction projects, running a quarry and rebuilding fifty-seven miles of National Route QL-21 to the juncture with QL-1 north of Nha Trang. On March 26, 1969, Casey was at his unit’s base three kilometers northwest of Ban M’Dreck on QL-21 in Khanh Hoa Province, RVN, when he died in his quarters. He was found deceased from an apparent self-inflicted gunshot to the abdomen. A .45 caliber pistol was found nearby. Casey, 19, was an Army volunteer. He left a wife and a young daughter.

Remembering An American Hero
Dear PVT Eddy Ray Casey, sir
As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.
May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.
With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir
Curt Carter
