Richard William Fischer from Madison, Wisconsin, Dane county.
Service era: Vietnam
Date of death: January 8, 1968
Death details: On October 26, 2007, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC, now DPAA) identified the remains of Gunnery Sergeant Richard William Fischer, missing from the Vietnam War.
Gunnery Sergeant Fischer joined the U.S. Marine Corps from Wisconsin and was a member of Company M, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division. On January 8, 1968, he was a member of an ambush patrol south of Da Nang, Quang Nam Province, South Vietnam. Gunnery Sergeant Fischer became separated from his unit during the patrol, and was killed by Viet Cong and buried in a nearby field. Attempts by the patrol to locate GySgt Fischer were thwarted by enemy action. In 1992 and 1993, joint U.S. and Vietnamese search teams conducted interviews with Vietnamese locals that revealed GySgt Fischer’s fate and the location of his burial. An excavation of the site in 1994 recovered human remains. In 2007, modern advances in forensic techniques allowed for the recovered remains to be identified as those of Gunnery Sergeant Fischer.
