A Note from The Virtual Wall On 10 March 1970 the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry lost eight men during an attack on their night position about 17 kilometers west-southwest of Hue: A Company: SGT Billy J. Greavu, Canton, OH SGT Lawrence H. Santinac, New Orleans, LA SP4 Leonard Keller, Bayonne, NJ SP4 Thomas E. Severson, New Richmond, WI, medic HQ Co w/ Alpha 1/506 PFC Alex V. Vardy, Cleveland, OH C Company: SP4 Byron M. Richard, New Orleans, LA SP4 Paul A. Richards, San Antonio, TX HQ Company: PFC William R. Alamed, Southwick, MA SP4 Severson, a medic, was formally assigned to HQ Company but was in the field with Alpha 1/506. PFC Alamed, a mortarman, very probably was with one of the rifle companies but The Virtual Wall doesn't know which one. Visit John Dennison's Medics on the Wall memorial which honors the Army Medics and Navy Corpsmen who died in Vietnam.
