Vietnam, second tour of duty

October 1969 Fred was reassigned for a second tour of duty in Vietnam. At first he was to report to COMNAVSUPPACT in Saigon as Enlisted Personnel Officer to relief Lieutenant Donald E. Towne, USN. But later, he requested to change his order to HQ, MACV to relief CWO2 John Sutphen who was an admin officer at the time.

His responsible was the same as his first tour. In addition to the administrative work, he was assigned as Adjustant General for DMA.

All the civilian employees at the agency was so happy to see Fred returns for his second tour. I was especially thrilled that we are now reunited.


Fred is congratulated upon receiving the Army Commendation Medal from Secretary of the Army for his distinguish achievement during his assignment at DMA. He was presented the medal by Colonel James Reiddy, Chief, Data Management Agency.
