I see alot of people I know in these photographs. Tom Coogan; I remember the adamant conversation we had about the pronunciation of Notre Dame's quarterback John Huarte. I think we drank quite a few beers trying to get that straight. I'm asking to find out if anyone can remember the radio plt. sgt________ who was killed by a land mine in his jeep returning from the Korean Marines. I clearly remember him, he had two weeks left before he went back to the states. I did not see his name on those listed as kia for 7th comm. On operation Cochise the listening post got hit. A radio operator named cpl Hansen or Henson was wounded up and down his legs and his foot was gone. I remember carrying him to the corpsman. It was raining very hard that night. He didn't get med-evaced until 5 in the morning. If anybody knows about him and what happened to him, I'd sure be interested in knowing. Semper Fi, Arnie Thompson

I found the name of the Sgt. that Arnie was looking for. His name Sgt. Brent Mathis died 6/17/67 I also have found the name of another 7th Comm member who died 3/4/68 L/Cpl Alan Carson he was in country 3 days when he was killed. I am still looking for about 9 names of 7th Comm KIA's.
