Dennis,
I am trying to locate your brother Robert. I know you are with God. I wore your bracelet and have read your military file. You are my hero. I look forward to meeting you someday.

Love, D. Drum

A Note from The Virtual Wall

On 31 Oct 1969 C Company, 3/12th Infantry was operating in the mountains about 12 kilometers northeast of the old Plei Djereng airfield. Contact was made with a North Vietnamese Army unit and two US soldiers were killed in the subsequent fighting - then-PFC Dennis L. Gauthier and PFC Daniel L. Starkey of Kent, Ohio. A 1994 Joint Task Force - Full Recovery report summarizes the situation as follows:

PFC Gauthier was carried as Missing in Action, and promoted while in that status, until the Secretary of the Army approved a Presumptive Finding of Death on 15 June 1977. As noted above, his remains are considered non-recoverable.
