A Note from The Virtual Wall

Two men from C Company, 4/503rd Infantry, were killed in action on 25 Aug 1969 - SP4 Terrance N. Gentry, Man, West Virginia, and SP4 Alan P. Strazzanti, Northfield, Ohio.

A third member of the company, SP4 Robert E. Gaftunik, Sacramento, California, died on 25 August of wounds previously received - but The Virtual Wall doesn't know when he was wounded.

All three men received posthumous promotions to Sergeant.
