Doug Goins, SSG, How Btry, 2/11 ACR

It is my sad duty to report the death of Doug Goins, SSG, How Btry, 2/11
ACR.  Doug was a Section Chief responsible for a 155 SP Howitzer and its'
crew.  He was a young man who accepted tremendous responsibility and
performed his duty in the highest manner.  I met doug in RVN, learned to
respect his abilities as a leader, and then became reacquainted with him at
our reunion in Louisville.  I had the opportunity to meet his family and to
renew our relationship.  Doug was a true Blackhorse trooper and he became a
friend in the past few years.  He was a wonderful husband and father, and a
proud veteran of our organization.  Doug was buried just outside Maryville,
TN on May 16 in a beautiful setting overlooking Tellico Lake.

If you would like to express condolences to Doug's family, please let me
know and I will provide contact info.
