I'm looking for anyone that knew him or was in his unit. I was with an Army PSYOP Team attached to India 2/4 Marines when he was killed. We had to do water runs from our LZ because it was too HOT for the Marine Corps choppers to deliver water or supplies to us in the DMZ.

Anyone that remembers this event please contact me. George was killed on 19 April 69. Another Marine died the same day on the water run. A few days later two more Marines died on another water run. Anyone with information on this incident please contact me.

My thanks,
Stanley K. Michelsen, Jr.
