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 mid 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.

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
