Donald Lee Harrison, age 22, from Chamblee, Georgia, DeKalb county.
Service era: Vietnam
Date of death: Tuesday, October 29, 1968
Death details: On October 29, 1968, an O-1G Bird Dog (tail number 57-6027) with a crew of two took part in a two-plane artillery adjustment mission over the Demilitarized Zone in between North and South Vietnam. During the mission, the Bird Dog was hit by enemy anti-aircraft fire and crashed. No parachutes were seen to emerge from the aircraft before it went down. Search and rescue teams were launched the next day, but intense hostile fire in the area prevented them from reaching the crash site. Both members of the Bird Dog’s crew remain unaccounted for.
First Lieutenant Donald Lee Harrison, who joined the U.S. Army from Georgia, was a member of the 220th Aviation Company, 212th Aviation Battalion, 16th Aviation Group, 1st Aviation Division. He was the pilot of the Bird Dog when it went down, and was lost with the aircraft. His remains have not been located or identified. Following the incident, the Army promoted 1LT Harrison to the rank of Major (MAJ). Today, Major Harrison is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
