15 Mar 2006 Sergeant Menees was a good crew chief who was respected by everyone who worked with him. He was fair to everyone he worked with and when he needed help no one failed to come forward. Men like Sergeant Menees will be greatly missed by all of us who knew him. From a friend, Joe E. Oldham oldham1147@earthlink.net

A Note from The Virtual Wall The March 1967 Command Chronology for the 4th Bn, 12th Marines, contains the following entry: "300157H [sic] - M/4/12 155 How (SP) blew up during a fire mission against the enemy. 3 KIAs and 3 WIAs were sustained." The three men killed in the accident were Sgt Richard A. Menees, Blue Mountain, MS; Cpl Edwin S. Garber, Seattle, WA; and Pfc William C. Relf, Dallas, TX. The Command Chronology entry above contains a typographic error - the accident actually occurred in the very early hours of 31 March, not in the early hours of 30 March.
