PFC Dan Bullock...

I went through boot camp with Dan Bullock. Although no one knew it, he was 14 years old. While making a second attempt to retrieve depleted ammunition, during an attack at An Hoa combat base he was shot multiple times and died instantly.

He was 15, at this time, making him the youngest US KIA, in the Vietnam war. When he was to be buried, his his true age was discovered. Because he used a false birth certificate, making him older, his enlistment was deemed fraudulent. He was buried unceremoniously and laid in an unmarked grave for 21 years.

Talk show host Sally Jessy Raphael heard of this, and paid for a proper head stone. My friend and I had an opportunity to visit his grave last year. Semper Fi marine. Dan Fey USMC

He was with 2/5 doing perimeter guard in one of the bunkers around An Hoa (I spent some nights in those bunkers myself, sharing a case of hot beer of course). He was killed one month in country, June 69. It being so hot that time of year they should have been outside the bunker, even with a sapper attack. We were taught never but 4 Marines in one place, especially during attacks.

RIP to him, and thanks to Sally for seeing he got a proper headstone.
