George died on December 17, 1968 during the Tet offensive. His helicopter was shot down. He was a door gunner. I have etched his name from the Viet Nam Memorial in DC. George was a great guy and a great patriot.

Thanks Mike, George was a great guy, I knew he had been killed over there, but, didn't know how.

George Arthur Knetsar can be found on the Virtual Wall (www.virtualwall.org) of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. It appears he died 12/19/70. Below is what can be copied from the website, and may he know how thankful we are for his service of our country and may he rest in peace.
