SSG MARVIN RAYMOND MCCAIN JR.

Return to Service Member Profiles

 

On November 9, 1973, the Central Identification Laboratory–Thailand (CILT, now DPAA) identified the remains of Staff Sergeant Marvin Raymond McCain Jr., missing from the Vietnam War.

Staff Sergeant McCain entered the U.S. Army from Alabama and served with Company D, 2nd Battalion, 12th Infantry Regiment, 3rd Brigade, 25th Infantry Division. On June 20, 1986, he was killed in action against enemy forces near Hua Nghia Province, South Vietnam. Subsequent ground and aerial search efforts failed to locate his body at the time. The Vietnamese government later repatriated a set of human remains that U.S. analysts identified as SST McCain.
