On March 24 , 1971 Harry M. Beckwith was killed in an air crash with D Troop 3/5th Cav. We recovered his body and wrapped him in a poncho and put him on a chopper bound for Dong Ha. On the way back the chopper following his chopper saw a green poncho fall out of the chopper. When they got to Dong Ha Harry was not in the chopper. His body was never recovered. Rest in Peace Harry
