Sgt Robert Larry Dellinger, Vietnam Veteran, Native of Kings Mountain, NC.

Sergeant Robert Larry Dellinger was a casualty of the Vietnam War. As a member of the Army Selective Service and a Draftee, SGT Dellinger served our country until October 27th, 1968 in Thua Thien, South Vietnam. He was 22 years old and was married. It was reported that Robert died from small arms fire or grenade. His body was recovered. SGT Dellinger is on panel 40W, line 042 of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington D.C. He served our country for one year.

I was a Childhood Friend: I went to school in Fallston, N.C. with Larry and his older brothers Gene and Wayne. I have some good school memories of the Dellinger brothers. They came from a good family and had a good upbringing with good parents. I served in Vietnam 66-67 and was fortunate to come home alive. Larry gave his life in that far away land and his death and life is remembered by many. May he always be remembered for his sacrifice to this great nation on a battlefield in Vietnam. Marvin Dennis McCurry.

We were Classmates: Thinking of My Lost Friend. Larry I was just thinking of you today as I went through the lost soldiers in my hometown. I knew your sister and Paul Scism the guy she married. I was friends with them also. I was in Vietnam 67/68. The time gone seems to catch up with me as I teach the war to my eight graders at Granite Falls. You are not forgotten and I miss you.
