29 May 2001 I am placing this memorial for my cousin Phillip in behalf of his family members and friends. Phillip, you will always be remembered. Every time Vietnam is mentioned, I think of you and the many others who never returned home to their families. Our love will always be with you. Thank You. From his cousin, Calvin Richardson rbigcal@aol.com

A Note from The Virtual Wall On 30 June 1971 four men from F Troop, 17th Cavalry, were killed when an ammo truck they were riding in exploded: SP4 Phillip W. Bridges, Tipton, CA SP4 John R. Houston, Independence, MO SP4 Patrick B. Morris, Spanaway, WA SP4 Steven C. O'Neal, Fort Wayne, IN While identifiable remains of three men were recovered, the only evidence of SP4 Bridge's death was shreds of his uniform. When a thorough search proved he had not left the area before or after the explosion, his command logically presumed that Bridges had died in the violent explosion even though no identifiable remains were found.

The point-of-contact for this memorial is a cousin, Calvin Richardson rbigcal@aol.com 29 May 2001
