Names from The Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall Page which is dedicated to honoring those who died in the Vietnam War and to providing a place for healing. It is a non-profit endeavor maintained by veterans of the 4th Battalion 9th Infantry Regiment for the benefit of all.

Thomas Edward Amtower, son of Edith Umstott Amtower, was lost at sea on the submarine, USS Scorpion, in May 22, 1968. The sub was on the way back to the states and mechanically failed. There is some speculation that the soviets sank it.
