Crew Chief Kennith Wayne Wheeler - KIA 10May69
Group of CH-46 mechs at DaNang. Tex Wheeler, standing right with no shirt and Dale Riley, kneeling middle sent to HMM-262 at Quang Tri. Have forgotten names of others but I think they all got orders to squadrons at PhuBai. It took me forty years to pay my respects to the Wheeler family in Texas and I still found the words hard to come by. I wanted to tell them what a great guy he was-but they knew that. I wanted to tell them what a heroic Marine he was-but they had his Silver Star and citations. So all I could tell them was how he has stayed with me all these years.<hr>Comment by: <a href=mailto:mckeeg@nettally.com>george mckee</a> on May 8, 2010 05:14 PM<br>you would have to have been there and done that to appreciate your post.
