A BTRY, 5th Bn, 16th ARTILLERY, 4Th INF DIV, USARV
Need photo of Donald for Virtual Wall

Jon Aldridge
6th Bn 29th Arty
I see where you have a website in which members of the 5/16th Arty can post
messages. One of the guys killed in Nam was attached to the 6th Bn, 29th Arty,
but assigned to Alpha Btry 5/16th Arty.
His name was Donald Wise and he was KIA 6 Dec 66.
Members of the 6/29th are trying to locate photos of everyone KIA while in or
with our unit. It is uncertain how long Wise was attached to the 6/29th and it
may be that he had many friends and associates in the 5/16th, who possibly have
a photo of him.
Our search for photos is in response to the "Call for Photos" put out by the
Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund as they prepare to erect an Education Center near
The Wall to further honor the Vietnam War dead by putting a photo with a name.
To date Donald Wise has no photo submitted to the VVMF.
Any assistance you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

I served in Nam from June 67 'til June of 68 with Btry A, 5/16th Artillery. I have not been able to locate members of my unit. I only remember last names which makes it difficult. These are some of the names I remember: Sgt Doyle, Tharpe, George Hunter, Danny Lopez, Billy Gurley. If anyone remembers me please email. I was in the central highlands most of the time around Dak To and Pleiku. Thanks for any help.

5th of the 16th Artillery
Homer,
I know much about the early days in Vietnam with 5th of the 16th. I went over from Ft. Lewis and left at the end of August 1967. I was the Sergeant Major's driver and Battalion Mail Clerk. I knew everyone in the unit. A battery 4-155's, B Battery 4-155's, C Battery 4-155's, and D Battery 4-8 inch self propelled cannons.
While I was there at least 60 men died. Some combat - some not. I know, I had to mark there mail- Deceased - Return to sender. We weren't exactly rear echelon. D battery fired from base camp Enari (which I knew as Dragon Mountain). Our other batteries were at fire bases set up near Cambodia. I was there in March 67 when C company, 1/8th was just about wiped out. Our field batteries fired hundreds of rounds and we had body counts in the hundreds. We did hundreds of LRRP's north of Pleiku and close to, if not in Cambodia.
Did you leave as a Captain?
You may certainly post anything I send you!

I found you in an email I got from the group called Pleiku Pals. I graduated
from Senior ROTC at Eastern
Kentucky University and did my 6 weeks ROTC training at Ft. Riley, Kansas. I did
not become an
officer because of a bad heart. I served in the Central Highlands from the sea
to the tri-border area
at Than Cahn from 1970 - November 1971. I was in D Battery, 5/16th.
