A request regarding SP5 David Lee Wright, A Battery 1-14 FA, 1969-70:

" I am assisting my friend to find information concerning her father, David Lee Wright, that served in A Btry, 1-14th FA on LZ Bayonet from about June 1969-June 1970. Specifically, he and 11 other soldiers were awarded the bronze star with V due to their response to an incident, we think, in April 1970. The awards ceremony was on LZ Bayonet on or about May 24-26, 1970, with a Brigadier General being the presenting officer. He was accompanied by a CW2 Buono. There was a mix up on names and the orders meant for David Lee Wright actually had another soldier's name on them. That soldier also had the last name Wright. CW2 Buono told David Lee Wright that it would be corrected; however, David Lee Wright PCSed/ETSed in June 1970 and it appears the paperwork was lost (or never done) in transition. David Lee Wright was a tow truck operator. He was a SP5 but serving as an acting jack SGT.

He and his daughter are trying to find folks that might have a recollection of the incident and/or the awards ceremony to help him get things corrected for the record.

We'd appreciate any information that you might be able to provide. "

If you can provide any information regarding this request, please contact Chris White at cjwhite@fhu.edu.

From Kyle Kirkpatrick, son of 1LT Kenneth Kirkpatrick:

"My family is interested in connecting with anyone who served with my father 1LT Kenneth LeRoy Kirkpatrick (deceased) during his tour of duty with B Btry 1/14 FA in Vietnam Oct 1967 - Oct 1968. At that time B 1/14 FA was attached to the 198th Light Infantry Brigade, deployed as a unit from Fort Hood through Oakland and DaNang to Chu Lai in October 1967, to become an element of the Americal Division headquartered in Chu Lai. My father, then age 27, was a forward observer.

What little the family knows is that he often observed from helicopters. He had nicknames "Kirk" and "Ken". His hometown was Great Bend, KS. The family has found references to "LZ Dottie" and a location "Cherry Hill" in film or paper in the family archives. The family is especially interested in meeting any 2016 14th FA Regiment Association Reunion attendee(s) who served in B 1/14th in Vietnam whether they knew my father or not.

From Chris Jensen:

Gentlemen:

I was an Army photographer with the 221st Signal Company and part of a four-person team at Kham Duc when the sappers attacked in August 1970.

We were in the position where the Quad 50 had been located.

I believe we were just in front of Bravo Battery of 1/14th.

Couple of reasons I'm asking.

1) I have a few photos people might like. I'm happy to share them if people would like copies.

2) I also have film of the aftermath of the sapper attack. Not very pretty, but some people might be interested. It has been posted on Youtube. You can find it by search for something like sapper attack kham duc 1970.

3) Since it was posted some relatives of the dead sappers saw it. They are asking for help in locating the grave. My recollection is that the bodies were dumped in a bomb crater way outside the wire. A few guys from the 155 battery have been helping.

We're not very fond of the Vietnamese government (apparently a lot of Vietnamese are not either based on a story today in The New York Times) but these are just relatives.

I've attached a map that some GI from Kham Duc drew a long time ago. It was apparently sent to the VVA and they sent it along to the Vietnamese government. But some of us think that the place he marked as the gravesite is off and our X is more accurate.

Can any of your guys help?

This might encourage the Vietnamese government to continue and accelerate helping find our guys.

I also have some of my photos available at a dropbox if anyone is interested. They can be downloaded by clicking on the links below:

Tonya Warren writes:

My father's name is Alfred Lawrence Rice. He went by Lawrence while in the army. He served in C Battery, 6th Battalion 14th Artillery in 1963-1964. He needs to find a gentleman he was in a truck accident with while he was there. He desperately needs a list of the gentlemen who were in his unit.

He has written several letters to the National Public Records Center in St. Louis Missouri and has not received the information he needs. He only wants a list of names of the men who were in his unit in hopes that he can find some of these men.

The accident happened in late 63 to mid 64 on the army post at Fort Sill. The gentleman my father was with pulled maintenance on a truck and they took it out for a test drive. The truck got out of control and turned over in a field. My father said he believes the gentlemen was a PFC like him. My father went before a board a few hours after the accident. Thank you again for taking the time to help us.
