This list is a work in progress.
As of 12 January 2006
This list documents incidents, losses, captures, rescues and missing in Laos during the early period. It is currently being populated with information. New information continues to be found and added. These Incident Lists are adjuncts to the more detailed Laos List. If the name is underlined, the record is cross referenced to a detailed data page in the Laos List. Use your browser's back button to return to this incident list from the detailed list. Ultimately the all of names in this list will be added to the Laos List and cross-referenced. Details may be found on the individuals in blue now.
Many sources were researched for this information. The findings are reported as accurately as possible. The color coding is as follows. The KIA, KIA/MIA and Killed are in Red. The MIA, captured, rescued, accidents and unknowns are in black. These do not necessarily correspond to the official Department of Defense or US Goverment stated positions on all persons. As you review this list, please remember, each entry has its own unique story behind it. They were fathers, brothers, sons, comrades and hooch mates. Let's not forget them. For those of us who survived the Laos experience, we reflect on our lost brothers - there am I, but for the grace of God.
