**13** Found DAT Seawolf Earl G. BLACK, AEC, Maintenance, Binh Thuy, 10/7/1969 to 9/13/1970. Found that he received an Air Medal (Strike/Flight) in 1967 (HC-5?) through his Service#. Found a Department of Veterans Affairs BIRLS Death File with SSN that came up with the same award confirming it was him. He came to us from HC-5, and transferred to HS-8 after us as AEC, unknown if he made AECS. He retired in 1974 and passed away less than 15 months after he retired. Could find nothing on burial location.
