Missing - not from 1/83rd

Trying to find the following Veteran. Please contact me if you have any information on his whereabouts.

- Roger Hoover (70-71).

It is believed that Roger lived in Little Rock, Arkansas before going to Vietnam and then in Charlotte, North Carolina afterwards as of 1976. His parents lived in Nashville, Tennessee at that time. One of our Kiwi mates is trying to find him as they were friends in Vietnam. It is not known what unit he was in but we think he was in a logistics role.

Our Dan O'Brien (69-70) is involved with this project. If anyone can identify this guy, please notify Dan.

 



Here are 2 other pictures of the same guy.
