28 May 2006 I don't remember much about my cousin because we grew up in different states. I was only 12 years old when he was killed. It was a very sad year for me, because my dad who was John's uncle had just died 3 1/2 months before John. I know that John was very important to our family and it was such a great loss. I can still remember his smiling face. From a cousin, Vicki Wilson England E-mail address is not available.

A Note from The Virtual Wall Five men from Bravo Company were among seventeen 1/3 Marines killed in action during the initial landings of Operation BEAU CHARGER. They were 2ndLt Joseph T. McKeon, Chicago, IL (Silver Star); Cpl Orrie E. Macomb, Great Valley, NY; Cpl Clyde U. Mitchell, Winston-Salem, NC; Pfc Dennis D. Kramer, Placerville, CA; and Pfc John T. Wilson, Phoenix, AZ. BEAU CHARGER was one of four coordinated assaults into the Demilitarized Zone which divided the two Vietnams. Details of the operation and a listing of known Marines and sailors who died in the fighting between 18 and 29 May 1967 can be found on The Virtual Wall's Operation HICKORY memorial.
