I didn't locate a photo of him but here is one that has the pilot that was flying the helo that Kerr went down in.
Try popasmoke.com and select HMM-363. Good luck in your search.
(Sorry, I will try again to post the photo, too large.)

Hello newbe here. My Kerr is my second cousin. I have been doing escort for the moving wall in Florida since my mother Merrily Thornton told me about Ernest. If you find anything or have completed your page please share it with me.
Thanks D. Thornton

I don't think I'm p#ssing in the wind as you so kindly put it. For many years I have done escort for the moving Vietnam wall in Fl. Out of respect for my cousin and everyone else on that wall. And I didn't know their was a time limit to find out more information about Kerr? SMH........
Oh yea I'd like to say thanks for such a warm welcome.......

You can drop the attitude...
Sometimes people post not realizing that the thread they just posted to was 6 years old....
