KIA while serving as a Chief Warrant Officer with HHC, 1ST BN, 35TH INFANTRY, 4TH INF DIV, USAR. DONALD R BOYLES is on the Wall at Panel 16W Line 104.
The following is from the letter of condolence sent to Donald's parents.
"Donald was the assistant convoy commander traveling from LZ Oasis to Camp Enari. At 1915 hours, 21 November, the convoy came under intense enemy fire on Highway 19 approximately four miles southwest of Enari. Donald maintained communications between vehicles during the attack. His thoughts were with the men under him rather then his own personal safety. He was wounded in the hip and abdomen by enemy rifle fire during the ensuing battle. Even though seriously wounded, he still maintained communications essential for the safety of those with him. Donald received another wound in the leg and again refused to move from his position. His direction of the convoy during the battle was a major factor in its returning to Camp Enari. Your son succumbed to his wounds before reaching the 4th Medical Battalion at Camp Enari.
Donald was a truly dedicated and professional soldier. He was always quick with assistance to anyone in need and was one of the most knowledgeable and well-liked individuals in the Battalion. He continually strived for perfection and completion in every task he was assigned.
Chaplain Marshall has conducted a memorial service for Donald at Camp Enari. On behalf of the officers and men of the 1/35, I hope that you will accept this letter as a reflection of our deepest sympathy.
Sincerely.
Santiago A. Garcia
LTC INF Commanding"
