• Keep. Junior officer with no awards. Normally I'd say delete. However, he was the first American to die as a result of action in Vietnam (although not as a result of enemy fire), so I think he just scrapes past the notability bar. -- Necrothesp (talk) 08:36, 25 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

• Undecided. There is an article about him in The Tribune-Democrat, he gets a bit of mention in this Stars and Stripes article and a Washington Post article spends some time talking about his son's efforts to get his father's name added to the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. The last two support the claim he was the first American soldier killed in the Vietnam conflict. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Clarityfiend (talk • contribs) 05:42, 2 October 2014‎ (UTC)[reply]
