HM3 Robert Logan Wickliffe was from Natches, Mississippi,
he served a total of four years as Corpsman to Marines. His Vietnam
tour commenced on Sep. 15, 1967 and ended with his death on Hill 881S on
Jan. 22, 1968. Obviously this photo was not taken on Hill 881S, it
was provided by a Navy pal. Robert's name is currently aboard the
Stardust spacecraft, launched Feb. 7, 1999, which will visit Comet Wild-2
(pronounced Vildt-2) in 2004. You may read more
