To me this man is my hero. He is the primary reason I joined and served in the United States Marine Corps. I never had to meet my uncle to know that his courage and sacrifice to this country will never be forgotten by anyone in our family and myself. Uncle Tooks, I came here today to let you know that your sacrifice has not been in vain and will always be humbly appreciated.

From his great-nephew,
Justin G. Cordova

A Note from The Virtual Wall

The 362nd Signal Company provided long-haul microwave and troposcatter communications and had detachments spread throughout Vietnam and Thailand. Although The Virtual Wall knows the company lost four men to hostile action on 23-24 January, we do not know where and how the losses came about. The four men were
  • SFC James T. Cordova, Zwolle, LA (01/23/1965)
  • SFC Harold E. Strong, Cleveland, OH (01/23/1965)
  • SP4 Roger L. Buss, Cottage Grove, WI (01/24/1965)
  • SP4 William E. Swaykos, Bloomfield, NJ (01/23/1965)
