23 Jan 2001 This is in memory of a dear friend and classmate. Wayne was only 23, not old enough to have experienced a wife, children, or living a civilian life. However, he will always be remembered by so many because of his sweet personality and always a smile and good word for everyone. God bless, you will never be forgotten. A memorial from his friend, Pat Rural Route 4, Greensboro, Ga cowtown@communicomm.com

 

A Note from The Virtual Wall On 24 Sep 1966, Golf Company, 2/7 Marines, was one of the units involved in Operation Prairie in Quang Tri Province just south of the Demilitarized Zone. While moving through an unfamiliar area, the company came under intense mortar, machine-gun and sniper fire from what was later estimated to be a North Vietnamese regiment. By the time the fighting ended, Golf 2/7 had lost ten men, and Fox 2/7 two more: F Company: SSgt Vernon L. Ramey, Pittsburgh, PA Cpl Wayne T. Strickland, Macon, GA G Company: Pfc Cecil E.
