I am the daughter of a Marine private who served in Nam for only three months when he was killed by sniper fire. I know he died in Feb. of 1968. About 6 months before I was born. I know little else except that he enlisted in the Marines in 1967 and went to Nam almost immediatly. He is buried here in Colorado where I live and where he is from, at Ft. Logan Cemetary. I have had a very big interest in finding out as much as I can about the conflict but what I hope to possibly find are people who were there with him or who may have served with him during training. His name is James Pirdeaux Jr. His father, James Pirdeaux Sr., was a Col. in the Army also but did not loose his life in Nam. I am a veteran of the Gulf War and served 8 years in the Army as a sgt. If anyone recognizes my fathers name or situation I would love to hear from you. I have only respect for anyone who has served their country no matter in what capacity. Both my father and I enlisted but I know many were drafted for Vietnam and still served proudly. Please take care of yourselves and your veterans. In Peace and Pride!
Please wait...
