My father's name is Alfred Lawrence Rice. He went by Lawrence
while in the army. He
served in C Battery, 6th Battalion 14th Artillery in 1963-1964. He needs to find a gentleman he was in
a truck accident with while he was there. He desperately needs a list of the gentlemen who were in his unit.
He has written several letters to the National Public Records Center in St. Louis Missouri and has not received the
information he needs. He only
wants a list of names of the men who were in
his unit in hopes that he can find some of these men.
The accident happened in late 63 to early 64 on the army post
at Fort Sill. The gentleman my father was with pulled maintenance on a truck and they took it out for a test drive. The truck
got out of control and turned over in a field. My father said he believes the gentlemen was a PFC like him. My father went
before a board a few hours after the accident. Thank you again for taking
the time to help us.
If anyone remembers Lawrence Rice, or remembers
the accident Tonya describes, please contact her at al_tonya@bellsouth.net.

From Arthur Coogler:
Subject: Fallen 6/14th Arty soldier - 1969
I am seeking information about the Vietnam service and death of a good friend, 2LT Donald Van Cook, who was killed
on 4 June 1969 and served with C Btry, 6/14th. He arrived in RVN in December 1968. I had heard, but not officially, that he
had been an FO for almost 6 months and was moving to a base camp job when he was killed by a mortar or rocket attack. Could
he have been at FSB Athena? Does anyone remember anything about him? Thank you and Welcome Home. Art Coogler, 173d Abn Bde,
