This letter from the daughter of a Viet Nam casualty expresses some of the feeling of loss by the families left behind by soldiers killed in action Jacob L. Kinser (A Viet Nam Story) I am not sure which troop my father was in, I just know that he gave his life flying a helicopter in Vietnam, on March 8 1970. His name and rank is 1st Lt. Jacob L Kinser. March 25 of that year was my 7th birthday. You see my parents divorced before my father joined the army and my mother has never wanted to talk about it. My father was one of twelve children, however, my aunts and uncles all tell me to let it go. I guess what I am wasting your time in asking is… is there some way to find out who he was close to over there, and could anyone tell me about him and what he was really like? I have a half brother who is now 32 yrs. Old and I have seen him once, (when I was 16) . Jacob Jr. who never met our father. I suppose if I were able to find out about our father, I would be able to say goodbye, which is what really has tormented me for 32 years, never having been able to say goodbye! I of course have moved on and am the mother of 5 children – a 20 yr old girl, who is in the army reserves, she is an M.P. just like her grandfather, twin 18 year old boys, the oldest of these his namesake, also in the reserves, the other will be going into the Navy July 3 of this year, also two other girls one 14 and one 10. So, you see I have moved on, as I know my father, my hero would have wanted; but I never got the chance to say goodbye. Arthur William Kinser... a 20 year old Marine PFC from Indianapolis, IN was killed on february 14, 1970 in Quang Nam. South Viet Nam by an explosive device. He was born May 9, 1949 and was married. His tour of duty began on January 15, 1970. http://thewall-usa.com/cgi-bin/search4.cgi |
