HELP US FIND OUR FALLEN BROTHERS!
Recently, a Gold Star sister and a comrade came forward with information which enabled the Heraldry Committee of the Brigade Memorial Foundation to add two Vietnam era Sky Soldiers to the KIA list posted on the Memorial website.
In the Fall of 1968, Timothy S. Owen disappeared from his unit, D/1/503, during a combat operation. He was listed as MIA (presumably captured), and finally declared KIA on 4 June 1974. He has never been posted on any of the various Brigade "Died in Service" lists that have been published over the years. G. Alice Owen, his sister, reviewed the website list, saw him absent, and notified the Board with the details of his service.
Charles W. Webb was KIA on 21 November 1967 while serving with C/4/503 during the battle for Hill 875. His M60 MG teammate, Ron Jordan , saw the omission on the website and notified the Board, including a copy of the C/4/503 Morning Report on 22 November 1967, listing him as KIA. Ironically, Webb is not included on The Wall, nor is he listed in the National Archives, a situation the Heraldry Committee intends to rectify.
Our goal is that the list of our fallen brothers engraved on the Memorial be COMPLETE and ACCURATE. We can only accomplish thi mission with YOUR help, the Brigade Family. Please click on the KIA List link, and check to insure your comrade or family member is listed. All additions or corrections may be forwarded, with any documentation available, to the Foundation`s Heraldry Committee Chair, Bob Wolfgang (email), or 651-485-7792.
