Notes
Staff Sergeant Huston was a member of the 5th Special Forces Group. On March 28, 1968, he was conducting a reconnaissance patrol about 15 miles inside Laos, northeast of Tchepone, when the patrol was attacked by an unknown enemy force. Extraction was attempted, but heavy ground fire forced the helicopter to leave Staff Sergeant Huston on the ground. His remains were not recovered. His name is inscribed on the Courts of the Missing at the Honolulu Memorial.
