Remembering
Michael Anthony Minko
Sergeant, United States Army
Culver City, California
May 10, 1945 to December 22, 1968
Michael A Minko is on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial,
panel 36W line 64.
I knew Michael's mother, Colleen Minko. We worked together at Hughes Aircraft
Company in Canoga Park, California. He had barely reached Vietnam before he
was killed as his jeep was blown up. If I'm not mistaken, she was notified on
Christmas Eve.
Although I only met him a couple of times, there has never
been a Veteran's day that has passed without me remembering what a nice,
handsome man Mike was.
I hope that his mother takes comfort in the fact that
her son is not forgotten.
