Dan Bullock - United States Marine Corp

Vietnam Service – United States Marine Corps

Vietnam Service Ribbon - United States Marine Corps

Killed June 7, 1969 in Quang Nam.
He is honored on Panel 23W, Line 96 of The Wall.

Private First Class Dan Bullock was the youngest U.S. service man to perish in Vietnam. He was 15 years when he was killed. He had gone through boot camp at Paris Island, S.C., when he was only 14. He had altered his birth certificate to show that he was four years older than he was.

Bullock grew up in Goldsboro, but moved to Brooklyn, N.Y., when he was 11 after his father remarried. He wanted to be a policeman, a fireman or a soldier.

He was killed on June 7, 1969. Earlier in the day one of his companions injured his thumb and could not stand guard duty. Bullock, who had been assigned other duties, switched with his friend and was killed during a North Vietnamese attack.

He was buried without military honors and his grave was not marked for the next 31 years. Sally Jessy Raphael, a TV personality, purchased him a grave stone. He is buried in Goldsboro, NC.
