On July 9, 1998, the U.S. Army Central Identification
Laboratory-Hawaii (CILHI) identified the remains of First
Lieutenant Terry Michael Reed, missing from the Vietnam War.
First Lieutenant Reed entered the U.S. Air Force from Texas and
was a member of 733rd Tactical Airlift Squadron. On June 23,
1969, he copiloted a C-130B Hercules (tail number 61-0965, call
sign "Terry 808") carrying five other crew members flying a
resupply mission to Katum, Tay Ninh Province, South Vietnam.
During the mission, the aircraft was hit by enemy ground fire
and crashed in the Tan Bien mission district, killing 1st Lt
Reed. A ground recovery team visited the crash site within an
hour; however, 1st Lt Reed's remains could not be recovered at
the time. In 1994, a joint search team reinvestigated the
aircraft wreckage and recovered human remains. Modern forensic
techniques were able to identify 1st Lt Reed among the remains.
First Lieutenant Reed is memorialized on Courts of the Missing
at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
