I am looking for anyone who knew, served with, knew of, or has info on James Robert (Bobby) Rutledge, Jr. of Memphis Tenn., who was KIA on Jan. 08, 1970, Tay Ninh Province, South Vietnam. He was my wife's first cousin.

From the research I have done, I believe that Bobby was in the recon platoon, 3rd Battalion, 22nd Infantry of the 25th Infantry Division at Nui Ba Den during Operation Cliffdweller IV, 04 January-11 January, 1970.

After reading the Combat After Action Interview Report dated 31 January 1970, I believe Bobby is the one listed as the member of Rcn/3-22 killed at 1958 hours, 08 January by enemy sniper fire as he was helping unload a resupply drop. However, the Report indicates that there is some discrepancies as to what actually happened.

Just curious if anyone who was there remembers. Thank you.

Suggest you contact my friend Bill Schwindt of C/3/22 Association. He will be glad to do a search for you
