I just had an informative conversation with (Dr.) Jim Wright via a telephone call to his office at Dartmouth. His effort will focus on a time period the includes, but is not limited to the Life Magazine Article as previously mentioned.
He has chosen the 1 month period between May 10th and June 8th of 1969 since this was the period during which the peak strength of our military personnel was reached. These numbers began their decline after this period for various reasons.
His efforts seem to be further focused on chronicling a more personal side of many of the 1500+ men killed during the period. I will be helping wherever needed in the effort as it pertains to our men KIA during this period. Today we discussed how to approach family and friends from my contact list. I also mentioned a few prominent stories that came to mind immediately...including Gladys Grubb's history with us, Helen Trammell's remembrances (Childhood friend of Jerome Collins)...and the coincidental addition of Ray Chenoweth's photo to his memorial page today...the 45th anniversary of his death.
This effort is well worth our complete endorsement and support wherever possible. Read Jim Wright's biography:
