Default Did you know Olen W Garrett

My cousin was only 15 when his dad died and Olen was never able to talk about it with him. I just would like to find anybody who might of meet him. I want to tell my cousin more about this time in his dads life so he can understand why his dad was the way he was.

Olen Wayne Garrett, might of went by only Wayne.

He was born in Amarillo,TX May 12,1947. He was in the Army and a gunner on a helicopter. He was in the 129th Avn Co, 208th Avn Bn. He was a SP4. He entered the army in 65 and was discharged in Feb of 71. He served a little over 2 years in Vietnam. He received The Air Medal and a Purple Heart. The paper that I have had a fold in it when they copied it and it doesn't show all of his "decorations." I know he received the Air Medal in March of 68 for the period of Feb 10,1968 to Feb 17,1968.
His Specialty # and title are 11 E 20 Armor Crewman.


I also have a website with some of his pics on it, if you'd like to see them here it is:http://www.geocities.com/melody1181/Memorial.html
