GREETINGS MR. WOOD,
MY NAME IS CHRIS ANDERSON MY UNCLE MILLARD R ANDERSON WAS ENLISTED IN THE 1ST INFANTRY, 3 BATTALION, D-COMPANY AT HILL 4-11. HIS NAME IS LISTED ON THE ROSTER ON THIS SAID WEB-SIGHT. MY UNCLE "MIDGE" AS HE WAS CALLED WAS KILLED IN ACTION ON MAY 24,1969 BY HOSTILE GROUND FIRE. MIDGE WAS KILLED TRYING TO SAVE ONE OF HIS FELLOW BROTHERS WHO HAD BECOME INJURED BY HOSTILE FIRE. I AM DRAFTING SAID LETTER IN INQUIRE IF THERE ARE ANY SUBJECTS THAT ARE REGISTERED ON THIS SIGHT THAT KNEW MY UNCLE OR WAS WITH HIM WHEN HE LEFT US. I AM ASKING THIS FOR SOME CLOSURE FOR MY DAD MIDGE'S BOTHER ROBERT ANDERSON. MY DAD ENLISTED THE SAME TIME AS MIDGE AND AS CARDS WERE DEALT MIDGE WENT TO VIETNAM AND MY DAD WAS SENT TO KOREA. MY DAD KNEW NOTHING OF WHERE HIS BROTHER WAS SENT OR REALLY WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM. I FOUND THIS WEB SITE FOR HIM AND IT GAVE HIM SOME UNDERSTANDING OF WHERE HIS BROTHER WAS STATIONED WHEN HE WAS SENT TO VIETNAM.
MR. WOOD I WOULD LIKE TO GET IN CONTACT WITH SOMEONE THAT KNEW MIDGE OR COULD TELL ME SOMETHING'S ABOUT HIM WHILE HE WAS AT HILL 4-11.
I APPRECIATE YOU TAKING TIME TO READ MY LETTER AND I HOPE TO HEAR FROM YOU.
THANK YOU,
CHRIS ANDERSON
