Special thanks to Michael Kenner who, upon hearing that our classmate, Garrett Eddy, died after being shot down while serving as a Forward Air Controller (FAC) with the USAF in Cambodia, took on the tasks of researching Garrett's fatal flight and coordinating with the Mt. Soledad National Veterans Memorial in San Diego to arrange for a plaque to be added to the Memorial in Garrett's memory.
Since the text on the plaque is difficult to read in this posting, I'm including its text here:
"KIA October 1970
Medals-Ribbons:
Air Medal, Presidential Unit Citation, Outstanding Unit "V", National Defense Service, Vietnam Service with 3 Stars, Gallantry Cross with Palm, Gallantry Cross Unit Citation, Republic of Vietnam Campaign.
Garrett was flying reconnaissance northwest of Kampong Cham, Cambodia when he was hit by ground fire.
Menlo School Class of 1964 honors your service."
