**01** Found DAT Seawolf Amadeo Cabias VILLANUEVA, ADJC, Maintenance, Binh Thuy, 6/29/1971 to 2/28/1972. Found through about 4 documents on Ancestry.com, but clincher was Petition for Naturalization in late 1960’s with his service# and first enlistment date of 8 Sep 1954, both matching his HA(L)-3 record. Burial information unknown, but I think it’s probably Philippines, as he was born there, and stationed there at least twice that I know of. His last residence when he died 17 Jun 1996, according to SSDI was (U.S. Consulate) Madrid, Spain.
