He was KIA - non hostile, died other accident. That was the listing. A friend of my uncle's who served with him said it was friendly fire from a short mortar round. He did some paper work and my Grandmother got a Purple Heart for his death around 1986 or so. It has been lost however. His tour began Dec 18, 1967 and he was killed May 1, 1968 in Quang Tri Province, South Vietnam. He was a 0311 Rifleman. He was single.
