Peppy, that is what we called you. It was not until many years later that I found out your full name ... Joseph Di Gregorio.

Furthermore, I discovered that you were from New York State too! I have been able to talk to your sisters and other members of your family and tell them about you.

In a couple of days Di Santis will celebrate another birthday! Some years ago, I was able to meet his parents and sister in Aurora, Illinois. He is already on this Memorial Site and I wanted you and Wolfe to be here too!

Thank you for being that "outstanding" soldier and doing what we had to do that night at Atkinston I think about you, Di Santis and Wolfe every day.

God Bless!

Your fellow squad member,
Sgt. Anthony J. Wallace, Retired

A Note from The Virtual Wall

On the night of 15/16 April 1970, Fire Support Base Atkinson, located about 4 miles northwest of Dong Xoai in Tay Ninh Province, was attacked by a reinforced battalion from the 95C NVA Regiment. The fight resulted in 25 US wounded in action and 7 dead: Warrant Officer Pohlman was copiloting a flare ship (UH-1H tail number 68-16209) when it was shot down. The other three crewmen survived the crash.
