The Longest War: Navy Hospital Corpsman Killed In Action

From The Webmaster:
EXCERPT: "It's our understanding that the first Corpsman to be killed
in Vietnam was HM2 Gerald O. Norton, age 23. He was killed on Oct. 6,
1962 while supporting HMM-163 on a combat mission. Along with Doc
Norton 7 out of 8 on board were killed. One of these was LT (Doctor)
Gerald C. Griffin (MC-USN) During the nearly thirty years since I
served with the Marines..."
