I am Edward's niece and I joined the USAF because of the respect my Mother has for her brother, a hero. He is missed and loved. I think about him often. I wonder who he would have been and if he would have been close to my family. I was only 5 years old when he died.

Eddie, my brother - I'll never forget the New Year's Eve 1967 that we spent together, I was just two month's out of the Air Force and you were waiting to ship out to NAM! I never thought that would be the last time we would ever party together, but then we were both young and didn't really have a care in the world. Seven months later, it was rough putting you in the ground, knowing we'd never grow old together, share memories, enjoy the good life! Until we meet again on the other side, you, Gary, Raymond and Ernie - we'll always be Brothers to the end!

All three are coded as "explosive device" deaths, but there's a puzzle: according to the casualty file, one died in Binh Long Province and the other two in adjoining Tay Ninh Province. While 23 August was relatively quiet in Tay Ninh Province - the only other known US death was an artilleryman who died of wounds previously received - US forces were engaged with elements of the 141st NVA Regiment near Loc Ninh. Given the available information, The Virtual Wall cannot determine if all three men died in the same or separate incidents or even where the deaths occurred. The three men were
