203rd Hawkeyes

Le Van Thanh three years working for the 203rd Hawkeyes motor pool Phu Hiep. After the 203rd pulled out from Phu Hiep Le Van Thanh was Taken from his home in Phu Lam and executed in front of his wife and three kids for his service to the 203rd Hawkeyes. He was a hard worker and was loved and respected by all the members of the 203rd motor pool and when motor pool staff sergeant Miller left Vietnam he bought a foot locker full of PX goods for Thanh and his family. In 1969 I drove the water truck, KP truck and was in charge of picking up and droppining off the Vietnamese workers for our company that lived  in Phu Lam and Tuy Hoa. I returned to Phu Hiep, Phu Lam, La Ba, and Tuy Hoa in 1996 and was told about this event by the people in Phu Lam who lived in the house next to Thanh. His family left Phu Lam in 1975. this Memorial is to remember Le Van Thanh.
