They died about a week apart from each other. They were both good men..." Several years ago I sent an inquiry about the photo to the Mobile Riverine Force Association (MRFA) inquiring who the other persons in picture might be. I received two emails: "The guy ahead of the doorway may be Daniel O. Garcia and the guy to his left may be Woody. I was in the 3-47th, B Co, Nov 67 to Jan 69" - Bill Wulff - "Looks as if we hit pay dirt Frank Gubal is in the picture. Small world, you know." - Albert Moore - Richard was a distant cousin of Pvt Donald James Spatafore, who was killed in action on March 13, 1969 while serving with Golf Company, 2nd Battalion, 5th Marines. From a distant relation. E-mail address is not available. A Note from The Virtual Wall SP4 Alfred D. Hildebrand was killed in action on 04 Jan 1969, a month after SP4 Tamm.
