We are at a loss for information about his service. Is there a website where we can learn more about his service?
Thank you.

My Tunnel Rat Team just had a reunion in Branson, Mo this year on May 18 – 21. 8 members showed up. I was on the first Tunnel Rat Team assembled in 1967 by the 1st Engineer Battalion Division. There are 3 members of that team still alive. Frank Gift of Maryland, Lt.Oatman of PA . Sgt. Baton (. Batman) that did over 4 tours and had a bounty on his head. We also have a have a special exhibit for the tunnel rats in the new 1st Infantry Division Museum that opened near Chicago .
