What are the names of 101st air-borne wounded at hamburger hill?

Answer 1

Highly improbable to gain the names of the wounded. Dead are traditionally listed. Even if the website of units participating in the "Hamburger Hill" battle listed the names of the men in those units...they very likely woundn't list the wounded from it.

Researchers would have to have access to the names (within those battalions), then research how many and to whom purple hearts were issued, then categorize the DATES of those PH's, which would coincide with the "Hamburger Hill" fight: Example; if a list of 200 men had PH's on such and such date, and all those 200 men were from the battalions that took part in the battle...then there's the answer.

But be advised, it won't be 100%; because in every war, Vietnam included, there are MANY wounded men who went on fighting in the same battle, and never reported or received aid from a wound suffered in that battle, because they felt they could fight on, and did not want to abandon their brothers in the midst of battle.

Similiar to fighter aces who didn't want to be pulled off the line, once they received ace status. USAF Col. Robin Olds was such a man; he may have had 5 MiG kills in Vietnam (making him an ACE in Vietnam), but only reported 4 aerial victories, as he was already an ACE from WWII (shot down nearly a dozen German fighters during WWII) and he KNEW the US policy of being pulled from the line (field) once ace status was achieved. Generally, US Military policy was, to avoid death or capture, thus allowing the enemy to gain a Propaganda victory...ACEs were pulled off the line (pulled out of combat). Old's liked to fight (he was good at it), and would rather be with his boys fighting in the air, than be a desk bound hero. So, when asked if he got his "5th" MiG, he just gave a wink.
