1967/1968

Two US Marine Riggers died jumping into Khe Sanh after a AD mission in either December 1967 or early January 1968. I'm sorry but I do not have their names or anymore information. I had it somewhere but I have not been able to find it. I may have sent the information to the archives at Texas Tech with some other documents. Assigned to Da Nang Unit (org source: conversation with Ray Stubbe, Chaplin at Khe Sanh.)

Served in the USMC 1st Platoon (AD).
