13 Oct 2002 REMEMBERED Sgt. Emmett Harvey Horn US Army Special Forces January 10, 1935 / December 23, 1964 Panel 01E - Line 78 In Loving memory of my home town friend who gave his life for God and Country. From a friend, John Murdock johnmurdock@murdockcentral.com

12 May 2005 Sergeant Horn is mentioned in Barry Sadler's song "I'm a Lucky One": "I'll hear Vrba, Young, and Horn laugh again out loud ..." In Sergeant Sadler's autobiography (also entitled "I'm a Lucky One"), there is more about Sgt. Horn, including a picture. I thank Sergeant Horn (whom I never met) -- he gave his all that I might live free. From a grateful American, Clifton Palmer McLendon sylviasdaddy@houston.rr.com

A Note from The Virtual Wall While only Sergeant Sadler knows for sure, the other two men mentioned in the phrase "I'll hear Vrba, Young, and Horn laugh again out loud ..." probably are Staff Sergeant Raymond J Vrba, killed in action at Detachment A-222 (Dong Tre, Phu Yen Province) on 25 May 1965, and Staff Sergeant Horace E Young, killed in action at Detachment B-34 (Song Be, Phuoc Long Province) on 11 May 1965.
