My wife of 47 years dated Doug for a short period of time before he deployed. In the mid 80’s she wrote a book about her experience with him at that time, (never published). I would love to contact someone from his family to share it with them. I am also a Vietnam Vet.

Thanks for sharing. If I hear from anyone in his family, I will pass them along your way. Thank you for your service.

    Purpose

    ​I've been doing these small memorials for some time now both on Facebook and on my previous site. The purpose is to not only remember our fallen brothers from the 14th Infantry Regiment, but to show the families that we will always care and never forget. 

    From WW2, Korea, Vietnam and beyond, we were all Dragons.
