Curt Tarkington’s Viet Nam Letters From Home
Curt Tarkington, Scottsdale’s first Viet Nam death, is buried with honors and a mother who shared his letters. She reads excerpts to the Progress, noting his early fear gave way to optimism, his humor and pride, and his defense of U.S. policy. His letters recount a three day mission, helicopter insertions, close calls, and a wish to see family photos from Arizona.
