Sgt Holovits and hs iwife Linda on their wedding day, Dec. 17, 1963

Red Warrior Dennis Lewallen has never forgotten Laszlo Holovits, his Sgt in Vietnam. He vividly remembers the day Holovits was accidentally killed on September 23, 1967, just weeks after his arrival in country. He was a member of Delta Company. Recently Lewallen reached out to Holovits' widow and the two finally got a chance to speak to each other.

Holovits was from Hungary, and the military promised him a fast track to become a U.S. citizen. That hope died when he was killed. Through the years though, his wife Linda has pursued the dream of her husband receiving citizenship posthumously.

Monterey Herald reporter James Herrera picks up the story and in and an August 3 article, and updated on September 11, 2018, Herrera gives us the latest on Lewallen's contact with Holovits's wife and the progress of her quest.
