Richard B. Fitzgibbon, Jr.

Technical Sergeant Richard Bernard Fitzgibbon, Jr. USAF was the first American to lose his life in the conflict that would later be known as the Vietnam War. He was murdered by another airman and died of his wounds later on June 8, 1956. Through the efforts of his sister and Mayor of Stoneham, Massachusetts, Alice Fitzgibbon Rose DelRossi, Fitzgibbon's name was added to the Vietnam War Memorial in 1999. Following his father's footsteps, Richard B. Fitzgibbon III joined the United States Marine Corps and also served in Vietnam, where he too was killed in September 1965. The Fitzgibbon deaths are one of only three amongst US casualties in which both father and son were killed in the Vietnam War.

==Biography==
Richard B. Fitzgibbon, Jr. was born on June 21, 1920, in Stoneham, Massachusetts. Fitzgibbon was a veteran of the United States Navy and served during World War II. After leaving the Navy, he joined the United States Air Force, rising through the ranks to become a Technical Sergeant. Fitzgibbon was serving as part of the Military Assistance Advisory Group (MAAG) (Detachment 1, 1173rd Foreign Mission Squadron〔), which was involved in training military personnel in South Vietnam.
Fitzgibbon was not killed in action, but rather was murdered by another American airman.〔(RICHARD B FITZGIBBON - Randy Gravenor )〕 On the day he was shot, Fitzgibbon was serving as the crew chief on an aircraft when he had an angry argument with one of the crew. When the other airman went off duty, he began drinking heavily at a club at the base. When he exited the club, he saw Fitzgibbon playing with some local children. The airman drew his sidearm and shot Fitzgibbon, who died from his wounds on June 8, 1956.
