 Kate, thanks for asking this important question. I'll need more
information to adequately answer your question; however, I am concerned
that the information you'll need to provide shouldn't be posted on a public
website as it may conflict with the Privacy Act of 1974. Our DEERS office
should be able to provide you an answer, if you can provide the additional
information they need. You can reach them in person or by calling (325)
696-5722. If you are still finding difficulty in getting an answer, please
let me know. Thanks again for your question.

just to little to remember where its at and you all don't have the same

Kate, thanks for wanting to pay your respects. The incident happened on
the corner of Louisiana and Texas drive - directly across from Black Box
Pizza. Hopefully this information will point you in the right direction so
you can find some closure.
