Cemetery office staff state that their records do not list Phillip Ducat buried in the same lot with his parents
Although the grave marker states otherwise.
The office says that their records indicate that John Ducat born /died Dec 14,1958 is in the spot with his parents not Phillip.
According to ACPL records there is a obituary listed for Phillip but the records do not list Phillip as buried in the Catholic cemetery.
Library records list John as buried in Section S but cemetery staff believes he was removed from that section and buried with his parents.

If anyone can help clear this up please let me know so that I can list the correct cemetery for Phillip Ducat. *****

Capt. Phillip A. Ducat was a helicopter pilot assigned to HHM 161,
Marine Air Group 16. On Sepember 26, 1966, Ducat was assigned a medical
evacuation mission in Quang Tri Province, South Vietnam. His co-pilot was 1Lt. Dean W. Reiter of the same Marine helicopter company and Hospital
Corpsman Third Class Peter Robert Bossman, a U.S. Navy Corpsman. (NOTE:
According to Navy records, Bossman was assigned to HHM 161, MAG 16.)
When the helicopter was approximately 22 miles west of Dong Ha, Quang Tri Province, South Vietnam, the aircraft was hit by enemy ground fire, burst into flames and exploded prior to impact with the ground. The crew aboard was killed, and the intense fire of the crash consumed all remains.
The crew of the UH34 was was listed as killed, body not recovered. They are among over 2300 Americans who remain prisoner, missing or otherwise unaccounted for from the Vietnam war. The cases of some, like Bossman, Ducat
and Reiter, seem clear - that they perished and cannot be recovered.
Unfortunately, many other cases are clouded with doubt. Some were known to be in enemy hands. Others described their imminent capture by radio. Others simply disappeared.
