To Morgan: I will always remember the parties and fun we had at your house at Maxwell AFB. My heartfelt condolances go out to your parents. You died fighting for your country and doing what you believed was right. I also was part of the Vietnam generation and served in the US Army after graduating from OCS in 1967. I retired from the military in 1995. You are and will always be a hero for your sacrifice. LTC James C. Fling (ret)
For Morgan, who with Charlie Hoffmyer and Bill Ekiss, made a few laughs into many, and a few poker nights into experiences of profit and loss - my profit often enough. Morgan, for all his jokes, was a loyal and insightful friend, and was one who sent me off to Alaska with a great party. Vietnam was hard duty many of us, even for those who worked intel, and he was in the thick of things. I found out about his death when I got out in '70, and when I got to D.C., looked up what I could of the declassified particulars. Later found his name on the Wall, along with other friends who did not make it. He was a good friend, one who would have your back.
Morgan and I were friends in Junior ROTC. He was a gifted artist and cartoonist and drew many funny cartoons of me on my mo-ped. He headed to the Air Force Academy and I to Auburn to graduated, and be comissioned as a 2nd Lt. in the Army. I served in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot in an Air Calvary Troop about the same time he was over there and was shot down and captured. I was crushed to find out he never returned and reportedly spent many years as a prisoner in Laos and was never rescued. There were reports that he was described by the natives in the jungles as the " tall animal doctor". His Dad, "the Colonel" made several attempts to find his son and get him out without success. Not a happy chapter in our military history.
