PFC Edward F. Clennon was an infantryman serving with the “Wolfhounds” of 2nd Platoon, C Company, 2nd Battalion, 27th Infantry, 25th Infantry Division. PFC Clennon was one of the best liked guys in his platoon. On May 25, 1969, he was killed while acting as an RTO (radio telephone operator) for SFC Marquez. PFC Clennon stepped on a 105mm howitzer round that was booby-trapped to blow up tanks and armored personnel carriers. He was an extraordinary man who showed kindness and compassion to all the men he served with. PFC Clennon always had an encouraging word for those who were discouraged.
