My cousin was on his second tour in Vietnam when he was killed. He was a gunner on the river patrol boats that patrolled the Mekong Delta.He was killed on July 16,1969 his funeral was the same day we landed and walked on the moon. It was his last mission out before he was scheduled to leave for r&r and was due to be discharged in Sept. 1969. They were on there way back from a patrol mission, when a rocket hit there boat he was the only one killed, there was not suppose to be any enemy in this area so they were just relaxing when they were hit. I still think about him often and miss him greatly even after this many years.
