11 Feb 2004 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. Crystal M. Ornelas tueyo@earthlink.net

 

14 Nov 2006 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! From his brother, Joseph G. Lopez josefol@verizon.net

 

03 Jun 2007 I am his nephew. I was also 5 years old when my uncle died. I heard only some stories about my uncle. But some were very few because of his loss. It would be an honor to know a great person if he was still with us. Martin Marin martindolores@msn.com

 

20 Aug 2007 Hey Bro, it has been a long time amd I still think of you. The last time I saw you was at your graduation from Verdemont. I was on leave from the Air Force. Your brother, Thomas Lopez wanderingstar89@hotmail.com

 

A Note from The Virtual Wall Service Battery, 2/32nd Artillery, lost three men on 23 August 1968. 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 SGT Donald E. Horinek, Wichita, KS; SP4 Edward Lopez, San Bernardino, CA; and PFC Robert D. Murphy, Falls City, NE.
