More detail on this person: Dad was in Viet Nam 1965 and 1967-68. He was mostly LBR (local base rescue) when he was home in the states. In VN he was Aerospace Rescue and Recovery unit. Cause of death on death certicate says basically he stopped breathing...(duh..huh?) But I am in the process of obtaining legal advice as he fell out of a hospital bed and hit his head and was released within 2 hrs only an x-ray done. He was dead within 24 hrs, and the state of California wanted $4,700.00 for autopsy. Anyway, he had Full honors and his service was respectable and attended by about 40 friends and famijy. He and my Mother Diana are buried together at Riverside National Cemetary, Honor service by March ARB. They did a wonderful job. Thank You for caring.
