I happened upon your post. I have a friend who is listed as having been killed at Bien Hoa, January 31st, 1968, while attached to Company C 52nd, Inf, 95th MP BN, 89th MP Group, and listed as killed by Artillery, rocket, mortor fire. His name was John "Jackie" Fullerton Jr., from Wilmington Massachusetts. All the history listings, I have found, record only ONE man, from that unit as being killed, at Bien Hoa that day, but none of them list the individuals name. I believe it was Jackie, and have been searching for 40 years to find someone, anyone, who was at that base that day, and remembers Jackie. There are conflicting reports of "where" he was killed. Officially he is listed as killed at Bien Hoa, while the family has been contacted by men stationed at the Embassy in Saigon, who claim Jackie was actually killed (by rocket) in the alleyway, on route to BOQ#3, while T.A.D. to the 716th MP's. Jackie, we know, was wounded three times, and was sent to Saigon for discharge, He was scheduled to be discharged n February 11th, 1968, and perhaps he was sent from Bien Hoa, to Saigon. Does Jackie's name ring a bell?

Does anyone who was stationed at Bien Hoa at that time that may remember him? Thank you for you time, and your service!
