On June 14, 1977, the Central Identification Laboratory-Hawaii (CILHI, now DPAA) identified the remains of Lieutenant Aubrey Grady Martin, missing from the Vietnam War.
Lieutenant Martin joined the U.S. Navy from Texas and was a member of Light Attack Squadron 4. On July 19, 1969, he piloted an OV-1A Mohawk on a routine patrol mission over South Vietnam near the border with Cambodia. The aircraft was shot down near Ap Bac, South Vietnam, during the mission, and LT Martin was killed in the crash. Enemy presence in the area prevented immediate recovery efforts for LT Martin's remains. His remains were recovered in 1974, and were identified a few years later.
Lieutenant Martin is memorialized on the Courts of the Missing at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific.
