According to the address of his letters, Ken was in M Co. 1st platoon during Operation SWIFT in Sept. 1967, (he was wounded on Sept. 4), but went back to the field prior to Operation ESSEX. Ken was KIA during ESSEX on 11-9-67…..maybe someone will remember him, we sure have…..thanks again… Gary
Taken in the Philippines in late September-early October 1967 just after Ken was wounded during Operation SWIFT (Sept. 4) and put on the Repose (hospital ship). He is the third one from the left. The second was taken in Camp Pendleton I think (but not sure) during advanced combat training (he is in the middle).
