There were not any American miliitary combat deaths in Vietnam in 74 - Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Hanoi released all of our known prisoners in early 73 - So that would explain why his name is not on the wall.
If he did die in Vietnam in that year he must have been a civilian contractor or with the state department/CIA or something like that.

It occurred to me that my high school had a small area dedicated to alumni who didn't come back from wars. All alumni killed in any war were listed on a small monument. I wonder if Bates Ave / Eustis - Cartwright has something like this, where Adam Davis might be found.

One of my detecting friends found a nice ring at the beach and checked with the rangers of the state park where she found the ring. She learned the owner posted a $500.00 reward. She asked me to go with her to return the ring. At the appointed meeting place for the transaction we waited and I got to see the beauty. It was easiely worth $500.00 dollars I thought. She told me that it is not Platinum as reported and the stones were really CZ's. Soon a guy arrives, a doctor, and I won't give his name. He identifies his wife's ring before he sees it and my friend shows it to him. He grabs it and walks off laughing. Luckily she stopped me from rushing in and getting my old butt kicked and sued yet. But I was really ticked off. Other blue words come to mind, but this is still a clean forum. My friend though had the right spirit and said she'd have given it to him free anyway.

Makes me wonder if his wife knows it's a fake.

The Vietnam war ended on Jan 27,1973. The lady at the school may of gotten the date wrong.If the date on the ring is 1967, his tour would of been most likely sometime between 67-71
Just for general info, only those killed in Vietnam were added to the wall. The thousands who were wounded in Vietnam and later died of their injuries in hospitals in other countries were not included on the wall.

I'll bet the stones were real. The finder sounds like a great person. That "Doc" was most likely something else (I won't say here).

Where abouts in Michigan are you? Northern, Western, Southern, ?

Morris, I went on the Social Security Death Index to check out "Adam Davis". I did not find any Adam Davis born around 1949 that died in 1972 or 73. Try http://ssdi.genealogy.rootsweb.com/
Everybody who has a Social Security Number is entered into that database upon death. So- something is not adding up here!
