HN James Anthony "Doc" Cardinale was a Navy Corpsman assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 27th Marines on April 4, 1968, RVN Quang Tri Province, when he was mortally wounded after hearing "Corpsman Up!!!" He was running to the aid of a fallen Marine and was picked off by an enemy grenade. Besides being on the wall, this place on the home page would be a fitting tribute for him. Jim was killed 5 April, 1968.
Thank you.
