Squad Member 4th Battalion, 173rd Infantry. Ron. It's been many years and I think of you, and our other friends who died over there with you, often. For all that read this. Ron died while on a recon patrol when our squad got ambushed. We had two others wounded in addition to Ron. He died a hero, trying to protect himself and his brothers. Ron Lyerly and I were there on operation Junction City, March 6, 1967 the day he was KIA. Myself and another soldier, John James, carried Ron from where we found him to the LZ for evacuation. John James was killed 20 days later on Junction City II, the second half of the operation. Ron's squad was on a recon patrol when ambushed, the squad leader and one other soldier were WIA, Ron was KIA in the exchange. See you and all our brothers some day. Mike Torrence.
