Gregory Antunano from San Francisco, California, San Francisco county.
Service era: Vietnam
Date of death: Saturday, July 24, 1971
Death details:
On July 24, 1971, an OH-6A Cayuse (tail number 17257) with a crew of a three was shot down by enemy ground fire while conducting a reconnaissance mission over Cambodia. It crashed in the vicinity of (GC) XU 730 333. When search personnel arrived at the crash site, they found the pilot and door gunner were still alive but the observer had died in the crash. However, the door gunner died on the scene shortly after the rescuers arrived. Enemy forces then began moving into the area, and the rescuers were forced to withdraw without the remains of the door gunner and observer. The remains of the door gunner were subsequently recovered, but the observer is still unaccounted for.
Sergeant Gregory Alfred Antunano entered the U.S. Army from California and served with Troop A, 3rd Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment. He was the observer on this Cayuse at the time of its loss, and rescuers determined that he was already dead when they reached the crash site. His body had to be left behind when enemy troops arrived, and was not recovered. He remains unaccounted for. Today, Sergeant Antunano is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
