Their mission was to search out and destroy supply trucks on the Ho Chi Ming trail in Laos, a supply line to North Vietnam when they were hit by a SAM missile. His memorial is scheduled to be held at the Biggers Funeral Home in Lake Worth on March 29, the day he went missing 38 years ago.

Two Ride Captains have been assigned to this mission and details will be posted as soon as they are final.
