Remembering those who made the ultimate sacrifice at Detachment A-502

     While the men of A-502 and the units they advised were responsible for more enemy kills than the entire 4th Corps during one six month period, they did not escape casualty free.  Four American Special Forces soldiers were lost in combat at A-502 between 1964 and 1970.

     The names of men killed in action at A-502 are listed below.  To see the citation for each of these brave men, please click on his name.

     You can visit one of the Vietnam Wall sites by clicking on the "Reflections" picture at the top of the page.  The touching rendering was done by Lee Teter and is available at art stores throughout the country.
