I served with A Battery 2/320th Artillery in 68-69 and never knew what happened on FSB Birmingham until about a year ago. I'm researching and writing a book about A Battery and will included your name and story ... thanks so much for your service to your country. We will not forget your name and what you did during your military service.

May you rest in peace....
