Michael J. Waterman, Airborne

Michael was a good friend and a great person. He watched out for his friends and fellow soldiers. He was a brave soldier who fought until the end. He was lost on the mountain at Dak To along with 74 other troopers on 06/22/67. They fought until they ran out of ammo. I think about them often. God Bless.

From a fellow soldier.

A Note from The Virtual Wall

On 22/23 June 1967 three platoons of A Company, 2nd Battalion, 503rd Infantry, were effectively wiped out in a meeting engagement with a battalion of North Vietnamese Army regulars. Seventy-four men from A Company died, 43 of them previously wounded men who were executed by close-range gunshots to the head during the night of 22/23 June. PFC Michael Waterman was one of the men who died in the fighting which became known as

the Battle of the Slopes
