Anthony Frank Housh

When cleaning out my family home, I found my POW bracelet. The name on it is Anthony Housh, 4-19-68. I was 12 and feared the Vietnam War. At the age of 12 I wanted to remember those lost and think of their family. My mother lost a cousin in WWII and never heard from him. If any family member would like this bracelet, I will be glad to send it to them as a remembrance of others who appreciate his service.

SFC Tony Housh Tony was a very good friend, we shared a bunker we lived in. Tony was launched for a mission after I was shot and my aircraft was no longer flyable. He is sorely missed and will never be forgotten by me. buzzkhat

Tony was a SFC E-7. His Specialty was an aircraft mechanic assigned as a flight engineer on a CH 47 Chinook. The province was Quang Tri and he was shot down in the Ashau Valley inbound to LZ Tiger.

The CH47 on which Anthony Housh was flight engineer and Michael Wallace was crew chief was hit by 50 calibre and 37 mm ground fire on its approach to the LZ. Housh and Wallace jumped from the aircraft from an altitude of 50-100 feet above the jungle canopy. The others were rescued. No trace of Housh and Wallace was ever found. They were declared Missing In Action. Source: http://www.pownetwork.org/bios/w/w003.htm
