Viet Monument Honors 64
American Soldiers Killed
Sixty-four dead American
soldiers were honored on 16 Feb
66 with the dedication of a beau
tiful monument at Camp Hollo
way, Pleiku, Vietnam.
The men being honored were
killed In the service of their
country while assigned to the 52d
Aviation Battalion. Grades of
those killed range from PFC to
Major. Some were killed in the
mortar attack launched by the VC
on 7 Feb 65. Others died In air
assaults by small arms fire,
aircraft crashes caused by hos
tile fire, and by small arms fire
on the ground. Whatever the
method of death, each gave all he
had to give in the service of his
country.
No longer will they have to suf
fer the pangs of fear that each
man feels when he flies an air
craft through enemy fire or while
sitting behind a chattering ma
chine gun trying to kill those who
would kill them. Gone is the
dread and uncertainty of whether
they will return from ‘just one
more mission’, the thing no one
talks about but everyone feels.
They will never again exper
ience the pure joy of having their
child run to them with open arms
when they come home at night,
because they are not coming
home. Nor will they ever again
share the quiet pleasure of their
wife’s welcome home.
THE COVINGTON NEWS
Lt. Col. Robert Cody, General
William C. Westmoreland and
Major General Vlnh-Loc, Viet
namese commander of the ARVN
II Corps, each made brief com
memorative speeches then the
two generals drew the cords to
unveil the monument.
Flags of both countries were
raised simultaneously by honor
guards of both countries while
military bands of each country
played their respective national
anthems. The Vietnamese flag
was donated by Gen Vlnh-Loc.
The American flag which has
flown over the nation’s capital in
Washington, D. C., was donated
by Senator Robert F. Kennedy.
Captain Timothy C. Stoddard,
52d Avn. Bn. Signal Officer, de
signed the monument and selected
the materials of which the monu
ment is constructed. He rotated
to the United States prior to its
completion. Men and officers of
the Battalion paid for the monu
ment with voluntary contribut
ions.
Marble and stone and name
plaques, however attractively ar
ranged, are really not enough,
Indeed no honor would be enough,
to express the debt of gratitude
and respect we owe to our fallen
comrades. They have gone on to
whatever reward God has ar
ranged for them and they will
never know of the homage paid
them by their proud and grateful
fellow soldiers.
It may be that the names of
some of us who participated in
the dedication ceremony will one
day join the list of names now
there. Each man here is pre
pared for that possibility. Until
we do, the parents and the wives
and the children, the loved ones
and the friends of those whose
names help form the 16 columns
of four names on the monument
can know that the memory of that
father, that son, or that brother
who died here will long remain in
the hearts and minds of those
who lived and fought beside them.
You are not alone in your sorrow.
And so we numbly say to our
fallen friends, “Thanks, fellows.
You gave your lives for us. No
man can do more than that.’’
