Notes
Technical Sergeant Fenter was a member of the 16th Special Operations Squadron, Ubon Airbase, Thailand. On December 21, 1972, he was the aerial gunner of a Spectre Attack Aircraft Gunship II (AC-130A) on an interdiction mission along the Ho Chi Minh Trail in Laos. The aircraft was hit by hostile fire and was attempting to return to base, but the aircraft was going to crash so the order to bail out was given. His remains were recovered on February 21, 1985 and identified on July 1, 1985. His name is inscribed on the Courts of the Missing at the Honolulu Memorial.
