Remembering my cousin, James Wood

I am trying to ensure that the sacrifice of my first cousin, LCpl. James Edwin Wood, does not go unrecognized. James served in Vietnam with I Co. 3/5 from Nov. 16, 1966 until June 2, 1967 when he was killed on Operation Union II. His example meant a lot to me and I believe was the primary motivation for my 26 years of active Army service. Please review the attached documents (Bronze Star Citation for Operation UNION and hometown news article reporting his death), and post accordingly. I would appreciate it greatly.~James Rogers, CW4, USA (Ret)
