Comrade in arms finds final resting place in Lockney
Vietnam veteran Brian Spradling fulfilled a promise by locating the gravesite of Marine Corporal Tim Hartman, a Lockney High School graduate killed in action on September 4, 1967. He learned Hartman’s family details, shared eyewitness battle notes from Delta Co. 1st Battalion 5th Marines during Operation Swift, and visited Hartman’s graveside with Hartman’s relatives, sharing memories and plans to stay connected with the family and unit reunions.
