This is in regards to Severiano Rios. I am a friend and think of him often. He served for us even though his home was near Guadalajara, Mexico. His family buried him there. I have lost touch with his family. He was awarded the Bronze Star. Can anyone from his unit tell me how he died? |
I am his niece. I never met him but I am proud to say he is my uncle. My father is his brother. I am grateful for the people who have this information out here. It helps me to learn about him. Does anyone have pictures of him?

A Note from The Virtual WallOn 02 Apr 1970 a recon team from F Company, 75th Rangers, was sent into an area called the "Renegade Woods" to investigate reports of a large NVA/VC force. The Rangers found the enemy - all they could handle and more besides. Companies B and C, 2nd Bn, 27th Infantry, were inserted as the initial reaction force; A/2/27 joined in the late afternoon, and two additional companies from 2/22nd Infantry came in as well. By the time the fighting ended several days later, over 100 NVA/VA troops from the 271st NVA/VC Regiment were dead, a large base camp was in American handsand twelve American soldiers were dead:
