    Supreme Sacrifice, Extraordinary Service: Profiles of SDSU Military Alumni by Robert Fikes, Jr., Librarian San Diego State University San Diego, CA: San Diego State University Library and Information Access, 2015 Contents Preface…...…………………………………………….1 SDSU War Memorial Profiles……………………….3 World War II…………………………………..……4 Korean War……………………………………….67 Vietnam War………………………………………77 Iraq & Afghanistan..………………………….……101 Non-Combat Casualties…………….…….………104 Generals & Admirals………………………………113 Outstanding Aztecs………………………………. 134 SDSU Military Benchmarks……………….……..165 War Memorial Statistics……………….…….……171 References……………………………………….....172 SDSU War Memorial Committee (1996)………..174 1 Preface This tribute to San Diego State University’s military alumni started out as one of three sabbatical projects in the fall of 2005 and was intended to be a survey of the school’s contributions to the nation’s armed forces. The inspiration for attempting this occurred several years earlier when a colleague informed me of letters written by former students serving in the military during World War II to Dr. Lauren Post (right), a popular geography professor and football coach. Post’s brainchild was a newsletter, the only one of its kind in the nation,that was distributed worldwide and kept this group of alumni in contact with one another and with those left behind on the home front. It is the often poignant, deliberately understated experiences told in the letters by young men and women, many of whom soon perished, that demands a retelling to this and future generations. Early in the project, I began to investigate the lives of a few of the fallen heroes listed on the university’s war monument in order to have some examples to cite in an essay, but as I looked closely at the abbreviated life of one deceased person after another the more I was fascinated with each of them as individuals.
