My FIL was in Vietnam, Pleiku, in 1967-68. Army 4th Infantry. He’s been looking for the guy circled since 1969. He has beginning stages of dementia so he can’t remember his name but he would REALLY like to get back in touch with this guy, if he’s still alive. He believes he’s from Waxahachie. PLEASE help us locate this individual. Thanks. ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/03/full-9982-221225-7f41fba8_b042_4621_9668_4253399e190c.jpeg) ![[Linked Image]](https://texashuntingforum.com/forum/pics/userpics/2020/03/full-9982-221226-19c049a3_c3e3_4548_9e67_7384f2178d86.jpeg)

You may not like Facebook, but it is todays way to find people. I knew a guy lived in Alabama, no town, all I had was his name, I typed it in Google, and his name came up with a link to a VFW in Alabama. It was our guy from 50 years ago.
