Joseph M. Van Daniker

Joseph Van Daniker was one of six Golf 2/7 men killed February 23, 1969.

The morning road sweep left Hill 22 (just west of Danang) and was almost to the main road when they were ambushed. When help came they were ambushed also. I think the fighting went on most of the morning.

Also killed that morning were

  • 2nd Lt. Gerard Paulsen
  • Pfc Wolfram Kretschmann
  • Pfc Michael McCabe
  • Pfc James Reynolds
  • Pfc Joseph Taraszkiewicz
