Captain Roy Edward Shaw
U.S. Army
KIA 6 December, 1970
I have been looking for relatives or someone who cared for Roy Edward Shaw, Captain - DOB
10-2-39 - Died in Quang Ngai province on December 6, 1970 while we were chasing 6 heavily
armed VC. He was from Bowling Green, Florida.
Shaw died instead of me when he stepped on a very large land mine that I had passed just a few
minutes earlier. It should have been me and I have lived with the guilt for 37 years. I have always
wondered if anyone but me has thought of him.
