I am the only son of a U.S. Army tank sergeant. My father died when I was only 1 1/2 so I have no memory of him. I do know that he was in country from 1968-1970. He was wounded and these wounds eventually led to his death. Almost all of his family is deceased and I would really like to find out some info about his units, battles engaged in,where he was stationed, etc. I have his medals and the flag from his coffin in a shadow box that my mother gave me when I graduated from high school.
Any help, info, or links would be appreciated. Media Cat
