2ND BATTALION 94TH ARTILLERY

DIED OR MISSING

Some of the names of the 94^th members are missing and only the accounts of their injury or death are indicated as reported by other 2/94^th personnel. Hopefully one day all the names and accounts will be identified.

Anyone remembering any of the names or accounts that are not recorded here please report it.

Thirty-Six years have gone by before trying to record these individuals and their sacrifices as part of the History of the 2/94th. All help is greatly appreciated.

DIED

Every night they lie awake

And dream of momma’s chocolate cake

And wonder if there’ll be a tomorrow

And will they ever see

Their home and their family

Or will they ever be back home

Boys who never learned to pray

Look to the heavens every day

And stumble through a simple little prayer

And ask the Lord above

To send them home to the ones they love

Oh God I hope they make it home

And every day some young man dies

And in the night some young girl cries

He’ll never hear his baby’s laughter

He’ll never never see

His home and his family

Or what he’s done for you and me

Awarded the Bronze Star with V

GO 4832 - Corporal Moseley distinguished himself by valorous actions on 10 September 1968 as a member of the communications section of an artillery battery during a heavy shelling of Camp J.J. Carroll. He constantly disregarded his personal safety by exposing himself to the incoming fire to restore communication lines cut by the devastating enemy barrage. This involved traveling of two hundred meters of open terrain, laying new lines and maintaining them as the enemy rounds continued to impact around him. He continued his courageous acts until he was mortally wounded. Corporal Moseley’s personal bravery and devotions to duty, at the high cost of his life, were in keeping with the highest traditions of the military service and reflect credit upon himself, his unit, and the United States Army.
