3rd Battalion 26th Marines (Vietnam)

1966 Fatalities

The following list is derived from several sources to which I am greatly indebted. I owe special thanks to Nik Dunbar, Robert Greer, and the web site The Virtual Wall. I have listed the fatalities by year and then further by their date of death in alphabetical order. Both KIA and non-hostile fatalities are listed. I have linked each entry to the memorial page that is on The Virtual Wall. I would encourage you to follow the link as there are more details and often personal stories, tributes, and pictures to be found on The Virtual Wall.

It is my hope that the memory of these fallen Marines and corpsmen be preserved for future generations. They answered their country’s call and served with honor.

Any errors in the listing are mine and I will correct them if provided additional data. Because I am using a pre-formatted web page, you may have to scroll to the right to see the entire URL.
