04 May 2008 I served with Bobby Rogers while with Kilo Co. 3/26th Marines. Bobby was a fun guy and an excellent Marine. We served time on numerous operations and aboard ships waiting to go out in the field. Bobby lost his life stepping on a land mine. I was with Bobby at the time, but was 30 yards away when the mine went off. He never had a chance as we were in the middle of a mine field. I will never forget Bobby.

A Note from The Virtual Wall On 31 Jan 1969 three Marines from Kilo 3/26 were involved in a mine explosion about 16 kilometers west-southwest of the Hai Van Bridge in Quang Ngai Province. One was killed outright, one died later in the day, and the third, LCpl Cusumano, died the next day: LCpl Anthony M. Cusumano, New York, NY; LCpl Bobby D. Rogers, Pasadena, MD; and Pfc William T. Roberson, Abilene, TX, radioman, H&S w/ K/3/26.
