119th KIA's

I attended a ceremony at the National Archives recently regarding the identification of deaths in Southeast Asian War. I brought home a CD-ROM from the ceremony. The database lists 64 KIA's from the 119th AHC. I have this in Microsoft Excel format and can email this to anyone who would like a copy.

"The current project was started in the early 1980's by Richard D. Coffelt as an attempt to provide unit identification down to the company/battery/troop level for United States Army deaths in the Southeast Asian War. During the decade of the 1990's Richard J. Arnold and David L. Argabright began assisting Mr. Coffelt in the research effort. During 2001, much unit identification information was obtained for those members of the United States Marine Corps, the United States Air Force, and the United States Navy who died in Southeast Asia. While those involved in the research effort did not have the necessary time, other resources, and order of battle expertise to fully analyze and incorporate the data for the other Armed Forces into the database, it was decided to include the information in the format in which it was obtained so that others would have the benefit of the research findings. In 2002, significant additional amounts of information for members of all the Armed Forces were contributed by the Vietnam Helicopter Pilots Association and The Virtual Wall."
