Hello - I am trying to locate any information or anyone who knew my brother, Roger L Pugh. 1st Air Cavalry, B Company, 1st Batallion,7th Cavalry. He was killed in action in Hung Long, An Lo Valley on 4/8/67. I was 1.5 years old when he was killed and I am trying to learn a little more about him and what he experienced during his time (began in 11/66). Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.
