Crawford Snow was killed in Quang Ngai Province, 14 May 1967. I was his medic. Also, Snow (as I called him) was a very good friend of mine.

Crawford was an American Indian, Southern Paiute from St. George, Utah, to be exact. I read on a virtual wall that he was a Caucasian, he was one hundred percent Native American!

If you can fix this it would mean very much to his family and to his comrades in arms.

A Note from The Virtual Wall

Eight men with A Company, 1/327th Infantry, were killed in action on 14 May 1967. Six were members of A Company; two were attached from other units:
  • SSG Elton Le Bouef, Vinton, LA (Arty FO from HHB, 2/320 Arty)
  • SGT Jerry A. Norris, Coral Gables, FL
  • CPL Benito R. Gonzalez, Bishop, TX
  • CPL Michael J. Bost, Grand Rapids, MI (42nd Inf Plt (Scout Dog))
  • SP4 Charles E. Halford, Latham, IL
  • SP4 Pat E. Phillips, Sylmar, CA
  • CPL Crawford Snow, St George, UT
  • PFC Michael E. Peterson, Monrovia, CA
Regretably, we cannot "fix this"; Corporal Snow is (incorrectly) carried in the Army's records as of Caucasian descent. What we are proud to do is to provide his comrade-in-arms an opportunity to set the record straight, if only on this one site.

Corporal Crawford Snow
rests in the
Shivwits Indian Cemetery,
Washington County, Utah.
