Jimmy Flores (Poncho) was WIA on 2-24-68 at the same time as I. He died on 3-11-68. David Burduson, RTO, was also KIA on 2-24-68. Oscar Gallegos (Sudden Death) and Richard Guerrero were both KIA on 5-11-68 in the A Shau Valley.
I recognized a few names on the B Company Roster:
John Vaughn. He was my Platoon Leader. Call sign “Lucky One.”
Snyder, he was the Company Clerk.
Babbitt, E-4 Rifleman. He was wounded numerous times.
Antonio (Tony) Lugo.
Jimmy Flores, Squad Leader, call sign “Poncho.” WIA 2-24-68 and died 3-11-68 as results of wounds.
Oscar Gallegos, Squad Leader, call sign “Sudden Death.” KIA 5-11-68.
Sheppard, Captain. Our C.O. Call sign “Green Hornet,” I think.
Miller, Captain. Our C.O. Call sign “Rattlesnake,” I think.
