On 20 Jan you list correctly the list personnel who were KIA
BNR but we also have Moran and FIGUEROA who were burned,
evacuated and died days later.
I have all that information in AA reports.
I returned to Nam two years ago and walked that ground with
the NVA soldiers who shot down
CH26, CH15, CH25 and CH38 (me).
I have to check my records.
Edwards and Berdahl were ARPs.
I believe Harry was flying gunner.
The CE lost his foot.
Harry was a black soldier. His body was discovered by Phams
unit two days later in the Roi Quan river and buried to avoid
us coming back.
I just can’t remember the CEs name but yes Sgt Figueroa, SP/4
Walter CB Moran were ARPs and died of burns days later in
Japan.
One ARP jumped around 100 ft over the river and lived with
broken pelvis.
I have his name as well.
Other ARP was Edwards.
Will research for you tomorrow. I was in that flight as one of
two gun leads. It’s a long but interesting story of why we
were out there looking for two F4 guys who punched out in
Laos.
Joe Hogg was AMC.
