PFC ERIC RIBITSCH

PFC Eric Ribitsch arrived in-country in VietNam in September 1965. During his tour, he received two Purple Hearts and was awarded a posthumous Bronze Star with Valor Device for his heroism.

He was killed on July 3, 1966 in Operation Yorktown in the vicinity of Xa Xuan Loc. He was 23 and a true hero.

I am proud to be his nephew, named after him, and I wear his dog tag every day.

As my uncle would say...
"AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY"
