Steve, I am sending these pictures as we
discussed in our phone conversation. The dates are Aug 1999.
First group is of successful recovery of John E. Crowley,
Spec4, D Troop, 1st Squadron, 1st Cavalry, Americal Div.,
assigned to Shining Brass mission. We found the remains under
the overturned wreckage of a Huey. Ground loss was Aug 10,
1970, Laos. Some SOA members may know which team was operating
on this mission. Second group is of unsuccessful search for
Leo Semour, RT Texas, Loss: July 3 1967, Attopeu, Laos. My
team and I searched and recovered no remains. I found a half-burried NVA-type
AK magazine harness with a white plastic spoon in it-(I
assumed it to be from a C-Rat). I also found a .32 cal bullet.
We tried to recreate the events based on the reports available
and spent a great deal of time searching. Nothing else was
recovered and we were sent to other sites for exploitation. I
thought it would be good to let some others in SOA see the
photos. Thanks. Neal Riley, SOA #2618-GL
