Would like to know if there is anyone available that served with Roy. We have had very little contact with anyone since he was listed MIA. I attended the meeting in Washington DC last week. It was really good! Roy was with the F (Fox) company, 2d Battalion, 35th Infantry Regiment, 25th ("Tropical Lighting") Infantry Division. He was just a few miles north of the small village of Yugong-ni on the Yong River. (Gary Rhodes, 2002)
