Las Vegas, NV Monday, June 19, 2017 My condolences to Dorothy's family. This dear lady suffered the loss of her only child, Marine Lance Corporal Dwight David Eisenhour, in Vietnam on July 4, 1967. We can never understand the loss she must have felt for the past 50 years, nor can we ever thank her family enough for the sacrifice her son made in the service of our country.
