More detail on this person: I haven't seen
Bernie since I left Vietnam. We talked on the
phone about once a year. Bernies call sign was
SILVER 11 when he flew OH-13 scouts for the 2
BDE. The BDE consisted of 1/5,2/5, and 2/12
battalions. Bernie was a W-1 and he became the
BDE commender, Col. Karohs, personal pilot. He
later took a direct commission to 1st LT. He left
the army and finished college. He worked in sales
and management for various companies. This information was last updated 05/18/2016

survivors: Bernies wife, Marguerite, called me in
Sept. 2010 about his death. I know he had 2
children and stayed married to Marguerite since
1969. Sorry I don't know more details about
Bernies life.
other: He was a good comrade and I loved him like
a brother when we served in Vietnam. I wish I had
known him better.
