Dmz Engineer
If he was 155, he was probably 1BN 30th artillery. If he was on the LZ during that time, there is so much info that the Army has, he should have no problem substantiating his claim. This was not an isolated ingagement. That whole area was hot for a long long time. All he needs to do is give his unit, the dates he was with them, and if it is the attack on the LZ on May 6th, and he was there, he'll have no problem. The thing is time...it takes the VA close to 2 years to have the Army reseach the records, and if he was there....should be no problem. Also show him the stuff Doc Fred posted. Doc remembers that night also being back at 15th Med. Somewhere on this site, I wrote up a report on May 6th that he might be able to also use. Not sure how to find it. It was a few years ago. He survived that night like I did. I'm sure he's been thinking about it for 39 friggin' years.
