Portland Navyman Killed in Crash of Helicopter
    Gary Norman Young, 20, a Portland Navy medic serving in Vietnam with the First Marine Regiment, was killed in action last Friday near An Hoa, according to news received by his family in Portland.
    The medic was on an emergency mission to a scene of action seven miles northwest of An Hoa in Kwang nan Province when the helicopter in which he was riding encountered intense small arms and automatic fire and crashed, killing Young.
    Young, the son of Weldon E. Young, 2939 SE Hawthorne Blvd, and stepson of Delbert Newton, 4727 SW Flower Court, was born in Portland and was graduated from Wilson High School. He entered the Navy and received training as a medic after which he was assigned to the First Marines.
    Besides his father and stepfather he is survived by brothers, Steven D. Young, a private in the Army, and Ronald Newton, Portland, and his grandmothers, Mrs. Donnie G. Young, Portland and Mrs. Jewel Evans, Oregon City.
    Funeral arrangements in charge of J. P. Finley & son have not been announced pending arrival of the body from Vietnam. (The Oregonian, Portland OR, Wednesday 12 Feb 1969)
