More detail on this person: Robert W Adamson served with "A" Co., 25th Avn Bn, 25th Inf Div (Little Bears) in Cu Chi, RVN from August 66 to August 67. I served in the same unit with him but never got to know him very well. Bob was a quiet individual who tended to keep to himself.

We both graduated with WORWAC Class 66-9.

I heard rumors that he was assigned to Ft. Eustis, VA either as a test pilot or to become a test pilot after his DEROS in '67 but I can't confirm any of that.

From: Chris Jensen

My father left Ft. Eustis VA when I was 6. (1972). Stationed in Tomball TX. After being wriffed back to WO1, he left service and died after being hit by a Trailways Bus in Jacksonville FL in 1981. Survived by 3 sons: Robert W Adamson IV, Richard E Adamson, & Raymond S Adamson. I didn't know much about my father since I was young when he died. Would appreciate any info that anyone may have on his military career in Vietnam. He became mentally ill around 1975 and don't know much of his service history. I would like some service history if you know it.

My father died on July 12 1981. Buried at Hillcrest cemetery in Haughton Louisiana.
