SFC Johnny Clifford Calhoun was a member of the USARV (United States Army - Vietnam) assigned to Section FOB 3, CCN (Command and Control North), MACV - SOG (Military Assistance Command - Vietnam - Studies and Observational Group) 5th SF (Special Forces) group when he was died on a reconnaissance mission about 1.5 miles South of the village of Ta Bat in the A Shau Valley, Thua Thien Province. His job was Radio Operator (05B4S) and his body was left at UTM grid reference YC422918, about 9 kilometers South - Southeast of A Luoi village in the Thua Thien Provence. The 'incident' that took his life happened on 27 March 1968 but he was not listed 'Officially' dead until 3 Sep 1974 with the U. S. Army. He was awarded a posthumous rank increase to SFC and the Distinguished Service Cross and Purple Heart. His name appears on the Vietnam Memorial Wall on Panel 46 East Line 045. This information is from the www.coffeltdatabase.org.
His body was never recovered.
I made this memorial for him because he would have been buried here in Oak Hill had his remains been returned. And hopefully someday they will be repatriated. Another Findagrave Memorial is available at #63240589. If requested to remove this memorial, I will.
