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.
