You have never lived 'til you've almost died. For those who fight for it, life has a
flavor the protected will never know.

18 May 71- Danny Day Entrican, 1LT 0-2 of Brookhaven,
Miss and Dale W Dehnke, SSG E-6, Gary L.
Hollingsworth, SP/5, USASF, TF1AE (CCN), RT Alaska,
0ps32 Lt Entrican MIA-Presumptive finding of death. SSG
Dehnke and the scout was KIA-RR. RT Alaska was
inserted in the Da Krong Valley on 15 May and the team
was attacked by an enemy force three days later 1 mile
from the Laos boarder. Two surviving commandos,
Truong Mihn Long and interpreter Trong Th Ha reported
they rolled downhill after a hostile search party detected
them hiding in a bush, at which point Entrican was
apparently wounded and yelled at them to move out. This
action resulted in the separation of the team members.
Lt Entrican was last seen wounded, but alive and
attempting to evade the enemy. A search was initiated
but all attempts were unsuccessful. One Special
Commando Scout (name unknown) was killed while
performing Body Recovery of the downed helicopter and
for SSG Dehnke's remains.
