Richard Canning was a crew chief with HHC 173d Airborne Brigade in 1968 through 1969 and was a very good friend. He lost his life for this country. He was from Memphis, Tennessee. His commander was Captain Stanley Striker. There are many men that liked Richard besides myself. I'll try to get more information so all can learn more about him.
