On January 14, 1974, the Central Identification
Laboratory-Thailand (CILT, now DPAA) identified the remains of
Lance Corporal Danny Ray Brotz, missing from the Vietnam War.
Lance Corporal Brotz joined the U.S. Marine Corps from Michigan
and was a member of Company K, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine
Regiment, 3rd Marine Division. On April 30, 1967, he took part
in an assault on Hill 881 in Quang Tri Province, Vietnam. He was
killed in action on Hill 881, and his remains could not be
recovered at the time. The next month, U.S. search teams
investigated Hill 881 and recovered several sets of unidentified
remains. In 1974, some of the recovered remains were identified
as those of LCpl Brotz.
