From Fort Worth, TX

Robert Leon Dunaway, Jr is on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial, Panel 08W Line 130.
He was killed while flying as an observer on an OH-58A (tail number 69-16089) when a .51 caliber machine gun opened fire from a position 3000 meters west of what was known as "The Rock Pile". Also killed was the Crew Chief, a man by the name of Paul Ward. It appears that the pilot of the aircraft survived, but his name is unknown at this time. I would like to hear from anyone who knew Bobby or Paul.
