John Raymond Rebits: John Price’s Uncle (Engineering dept.) •Deployed to Vietnam in April 1968. Died in action on Feb 3, 1969. “I was 7 at the time, but I was told he died trying to rescue an injured fellow soldier. My mom has so many stories of Jim (his twin) & John playing hockey and all the mischief they got into. I remember how strong he was. He would lift weights, jog around the zoo, & was just getting into Scuba. So many Memorial weekends our family gathered in his remembrance.”
