The first appearance of our teammate's name above is a virtual rubbing from
the Vietnam Wall Memorial to Americans lost during the Vietnam War. By virtue of this
remarkable tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, the names of our fallen teammates
will endure far beyond those of us who survived them . . . and we are proud that they will.
Our teammate, John Edward Carlson was born on February 15, 1949 and joined
the Armed Forces while in his hometown of Round Lake, Illinois. He served as a 11F4S in
the United States Army Special Forces. In 1 year of service, he attained the rank of
SP4/E4. On September 16, 1969, at the age of 20, Specialist 4th Class Carlson perished in the service of our country in South Vietnam, Khanh Hoa. Our country will never forget . . .
