Well I have spent about an hour and a half looking for something that hindges on the company level and found nothing. I am never surprised to see just how butchered and screwed up the information is for units that served in Vietnam. It was a constant shell game with units and movements and to this day it remains the same.

I found a couple possible sites that might offer more information but you should not waste any time before contacting any due to the age of all of us still living. One other point I should make, this Delta company had a sister company Charlie. It appears that this C company were the ones involved in the Mai Lai massacre. As far as I can remember one Lt a Lt Calley was charged with murder and other charges, dishonorably discharged and I might be wrong but I think it was President Nixon that pardoned him. There was a lot of men of this Unit being killed and ambushed with the help of this village so take what you might read with a grain of salt. Since it is not Delta Company it means little unless someone suggest otherwise.

One url is for a flickr acct and photostream. This guy has a lot of photos of that area and the unit search took me there, now I have no idea if he is still alive or not but you can contact and leave a message on Flickr just use the 3 dots ... next to the follow and you get a contact header. He also has another account for a yacht club so be sure and use that contact, he might answer one or the other quicker.

Frankly I would place my best bet on this Ist Inf url, it might be the exact answer for information on the unit itself. Surely they have some historical information for the men who served and died for this country. Don't take NO for an answer and be patient until you find a person willing to invest some time and knowledge.

I believe the 11th Infantry Brigade has present duty as the Main service unit of West Point today.

Good luck I hope you find something for the friend to cherish

I found the entire casualty list for the 3rd/1st Infantry. He is right there in the D section. An 11B10 Light Weapons Infantry KIA we both had same MOS Light Weapons. I will continue to look for a website for members of that unit.

Interesting, there is a second name same date and time, both may have died same action........

Good job, @OldGuy I'm thinking you’ve been of great help for the OP here.

Thank you, it is an honor and privilege to spend a few moments for the children of my era. The history is very ragged for the Vietnam Units. Most people don't know that lbj had national records and military photos destroyed that would have gone to the historical archives. He was a true tyrant from the git go. One of the reasons I hate liberals so much and especially those that start wars and try to distance themselves later in life.
