Collection of Red Warrior Casualty Pictures - Many missing photos

By selecting from the menu options on the above menu bar, you'll find the names of Red Warriors and Task Force members who served with the 1/12 in Vietnam from 1966 - 1970 and who were Killed In Action (KIA) 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.

Irony was not a stranger to those who died. Some fell a week after their arrival, some on their own birthday, some on Christmas, and others just days within DEROS.

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 to us, 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 honored to post it alongside their name.

Please note that all MEDICS were members of the HHC and assigned to individual 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 were KIA during their 2nd tour in Vietnam but assigned to a different unit. These persons are not listed in this Red Warrior specific roster.

WHERE DID THEY DIE?

We have provided a list of known grid coordinates where KIA Locations have been identified from military records. However, the list is less than 50% of the Red Warriors known to have made the ultimate sacrifice. In most cases only the South Vietnam Province in which they were killed is listed. To view this list CLICK HERE. You may then wish to visit our MAP PAGE and compare the grid coordinates to the appropriate map.
