Kent County has the name of five Killed In Action’s on the Vietnam War Memorial in Washington, DC. One of them is Virgil Henry Wilson, Jr, Private First Class, U.S. Army, who was killed in Vietnam on 10/11/1968. His home address is shown as Golts, MD
For the fourth time at this coming National Vietnam War Veterans Day, on Saturday March 29 at 2:00pm in Memorial Park (Corner of High St and Cross St) in Chestertown, his name will be honored as “never to be forgotten”.
Anyone who remembers him or his family, or who lived in Golts, or who just wants to join other veterans and their supporters is invited to attend.
