10 Jul 2006 This is for my old classmate at Lane High School in Charlottesville, Virginia. We knew him as "Tony." I didn't know him well but what I remember best about Tony is that he made friends easily and was always smiling and laughing. In 1966 I heard that he had been killed in Viet Nam. I never heard any more about him. I had no idea that his name was Grandville R. Jones until I found the No Quarter Database. From a casual friend. E-mail address is not available.

They were supported by A/2/33rd Arty and reinforced by 2/28th Infantry.
