Commander Gold entered the U.S. Navy from California and served in Attack Squadron 85. On December 22, 1965, he was the navigator/bombardier on an A-6A Intruder (bureau number 151781) on a strike mission against enemy targets in Haiphong, North Vietnam. His aircraft went down during the mission and both CDR Gold and the pilot were killed, but their remains were not recovered at the time.

His name is also inscribed along with all his fallen comrades on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall in Washington, DC.
