Does there exist a list of MIA and/or KIA/BNR Marine Vietnam Helicopter crew members?? If so, could someone post a list by squadron and name?
HMM-262 had two MIA: Cpl. Terry Hoffman, Crew Chief, MIA on 19-AUG-68 who was returned home 04-JUL-94 and Sgt. Harry. T. Wilson, Crew Chief, MIA on 14-JUN-70 but was reclassified KIA/BNR (Killed In Action/Body Not Recovered) when the crash site was located and identified in 1995.
Through our HMM-262 Vietnam Veterans Association mission "Operation Homecoming", we are in constant contact with JPAC (Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command) staff. We have learned that Sgt Wilson's crash site is on the JPAC Agenda to be excavated between Sep. '04 and May '05.
FYI
Just search our KIA database on the home page
HMM-262 has 55 listed here

George,
Thanks, I have that info. I was asking about MIA or KIA "Body Not Recovered" for all the other squadrons.
