John David Musgrove
John is one of “our boys” and I’m working on a biography of this fine man and his military history for our Memorial of Honor. Am short a few details, like, when did he “ship out” and where to, how, etc., and even some activities in Vietnam. I have quite a bit of data for the record, but not yet to my satisfaction. Thanks.

Bill,
Most of his family lives in Oregon. Sounds funny but type in Musgrove Funeral Homes in Oregon and you show find them.

I wish I had found this post earlier! My Dad was friends with John Muskgrove. I have a recording of my Dad talking about him. My Dad passed away just this las December 0f 2025, just 2 days after his 99th birthday. Boy, he could have told you stories! He remained sharp as a tack to the bitter end.
