Then pay it forward and pass along to others your knowledge of him.  As Americans, we must be thankful for our United States military and to those who served this great country and laid down their lives in the name of freedom.  As for the Vietnam War, it was the most turbulent time in our nation’s history.  Their was the lives lost, families destroyed, and the physical and emotional scars that would never heal.  Returning veterans of the Era were not treated warmly. There was no welcome home.

There is a Motto that is upheld by the Vietnam Veterans Of America.  “Never again will one generation of veterans abandon another”  https://vva.org/

PFC Dan Bullock, PFC Donald W. Bunn, LCPL Larry J. Eglinsdoerfer, PFC Jason D. Hunnicutt and PFC Steven Montgomery were members of F Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines, stationed at An Hoa Combat Base in Quang Nam Province, RVN. On the night of June 7, 1969, after a mortar barrage, NVA sappers attacked the base and were able to break through the perimeter at two positions. Bullock, Bunn, Eglinsdoefer, and Hunnicutt were in a bunker when satchel charges were tossed on and into the bunker. The enemy were able to infiltrate at that position, passing over the bunker and firing inside as they went past. None of the Marines were able to exit the bunker and all were killed. Montgomery was on the perimeter during the attack and died after being hit by small arms fire. The NVA attack was eventually repulsed, the enemy leaving behind 19 dead. The next morning, Marines removed the bodies of their dead comrades from the bunker. Bullock was only 15 years old when he was killed, the youngest American to die in the war.
