Sgt. Charles Floyd Kennedy

On November 11, the Salt Lake Tribune announced an effort to locate a photo of every military member from Utah who was lost  in Viet Nam.  Of the 37 photos still missing, one is a serviceman named Charles F. Kennedy from Garden City.  Mark H. Anderson who has a cabin in Sweetwater notified RCTonline in an effort to find a picture of Kennedy.

We found that Charles Floyd. Kennedy, Sergeant HHT, 1ST Squadron, 10TH CAVALRY, 4TH Infantry Division, USARV ,Army of the United States, is buried  in the Garden City Cemetery near his parents Clyde Mills and Ilene Hanson Kennedy.

Through a FaceBook search of Garden City friends we found that Sue Lutz of Garden City was his sister and she has graciously sent a photo which has now been sent to Janna Hoehn at Never Forgotton.


He served one year and his tour of duty in Khanh Hoa, South Vietnam, began on April 21, 1967 and he died on October 17, 1967.  He was only 26 years old.
