Gentlemen,
I am helping the daughter of a KIA, Pvt Gary Palmer. The following is his database sheet found on The Virtual Wall:

I am trying to find out more of his unit other than just MAG-16, 1st MAW. His name doesn't appear on your KIA list and I am trying to find a site to get in touch with someone who knew Pvt Palmer. If you could help this piece of no good Army Dung(72-75), help a daughter of one of our nations finest it would be greatly appreciated. Please visit my brothers memorial at www.virtualwall.org/dl/luseka01a.htm. Your site is the one of the best I've seen and it is easy to get around. Thank you for your service and WELCOME HOME !!

I was a Platoon Leader in Zulu Company and Palmer was in my platoon when he was accidentally shot and killed. I have contacted his daughter and gave her the information I have. If there is any one who knew Palmer well, please let me know so I can contact his daughter.
