Huston Killed in Viet
Caldwell - A Caldwell man, Pfc. Terry F. Huston, 19, in Vietnam only a month, was killed in action Tuesday.
Pfc. Huston's parents, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob H. Huston of Caldwell route 2, were informed of their son's death Wednesday.
The Defense Department Thursday, in making the announcement from Washington D. C., said that Pfc. Huston's name was among those of nine men listed killed.
The young member of the 101st Army Airborne Division went overseas 2 May (1966) after joining the service a year ago this month. His enlistment followed his graduation from Caldwell High School, Class of '65. He took basic training at Fort Ord CA then went on to additional training at Fort Gordon and Fort Benning GA and Fort Campbell KY.
Terry F. Huston was born 1 Jan 1947, in Nampa and was a lifetime resident of Canyon County. He was a member of the Calvary Temple Church and the Caldwell Rod and Gun Club. He had been a member of the Caldwell unit of the Civil Air Patrol when he was in high school.
Survivors, in addition to his parents, are four sisters, Linda, Vicki, Gloria and Janice, all at home; his grandparents, Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Huston, Caldwell, Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Suttle, Midway Community and Mr. and Mrs. Archie Tuttle, Parma.
Pfc. Huston's body will be returned to the United States and brought to Caldwell where Peckham-Dakan-Davis Mortuary will arrange for military services and interment in Canyon Hill Cemetery. (The News-Tribune, Caldwell ID, Friday, 10 Jun 1966)

This information extracted from PowNetWork.Org William Lemmons was the pilot of a 0H23 Raven helicopter on a visual recon mission operating in Quang Tin Province on 88 Jun 1967. It was his job to pilot two men to spot artillery targets. On the way back he was probably asked to fly over a dangerous area which he did. His helicopter developed engine problems and he successfully landed it. The accounts presented on the POWNetWork pages differ among themselves and with the official reports. The description of the search is well worth reading.
