Perhaps your readers can help with this? Thank you
Perhaps you can forward this to military/civic organizations in Brownsville.
Lieutenant Commander Harold Edwin Gray was born in Brownsville in 1930. His mother was Mrs Exa Barlett Gray, a 1922 (?) graduate of San Benito High School. His aircraft crashed in North Vietnam in 1965, his body was never recovered.
In military sites, such as the Virtual Wall & Military Times, Lt Gray's place of birth is listed as New York, which is erroneous. He is not listed in list of Brownsville veterans who lost their lives in Vietnam. Isn't this the equivalency of listing San Benito's Dolly Vinsant's hometown as New York?
Would appreciate you looking into this, thanks in advance.
It says there that LCDR Harold Edwin Gray's father (same name) was a pilot with the Mexican Aviation company. Gray was 34 years old when his stright-winged plane crashed and exploded over North Vietnam
Flying from the USS Midway, a US Navy Douglas A-1 Skyraider of Attack Squadron 25 (VA-25) flies a CAS mission in support of ground forces in Vietnam. Seen here carrying a varied amount of ordinance, the Skyraider was an incredibly versatile aircraft, capable of carrying nearly every piece of ordinance possessed by the US Navy. Loved by ground troops, the Skyraider's the straight wing and piston engine design allowed it to make accurate passes on enemy positions, not accomplishable by jets.
I am looking for the family of LCDR Gray. I have a gun he purchased in 1965 in San Francisco. It's an AR-7. Would like to hear from them. Thank you!
