By selecting from the menu options above or below, you'll find the names of Red Warriors who served
with the 1/12 in Vietnam from 1966 - 1970 and were KilledIn Action
immediately or died of their wounds later. These soldiers made the
ultimate sacrifice in the military service of our country. They gave
their lives on the battlefield or in some rare cases lost their lives in
non-combatant situations.
When you read this
section, please note the ages and hometowns of these soldiers. This
will surely help you understand that many men were lost and no locale was
spared. Age and race were not barriers for us. We were all
brothers and we watched each others' backs.
For those of you
who personally knew these fallen Red Warriors, please recall the "good"
times you had with them. And always, always, keep their memory and
spirit alive in your heart. If you have a picture to share, we would be happy to post it alongside their name.
Please note that all MEDICS were members of the HHC and assigned to indiviudal companies. When searching for a medic, please go to the HHC heading for your search. We also know of a few former Red Warriors who where KIA during their 2nd tour in Vietnam but assigned to a different unit. These persons are not listed in this Red Warrior specific roster.
If you have a picture of a fallen Red Warrior that is not shown in this roster, please send us the picture so that we can put a face next to his name. Email to: Jim-Casualty Picture

NOTES:
While the term
"Casualty" technically covers men who were Wounded In Action, our WIAs are
not listed here. There are just too many and updates are coming in
too quickly for us to keep the list current. We will consider adding
a search capability for WIA when that part of the data becomes more
stable. However, we can prepare a special list identifying the men
we have identified thus far as WIA and email it in a spreadsheet or text
format. We can also mail a hard copy list if that is preferable.
Please click here, to request additional information.
In late 2009 we added a "Deceased" page to recognize and honor those who have passed away since their tour of duty. Please feel free to contact us with additions.
Thank you to the men who developed the Coffelt Database and in particular
Dick Arnold. The database is an effort to identify the organization,
down to the company level, of each American killed in service in Vietnam.
There is always the possibility that error will be found. This
section will be updated as corrections are received and verified.
