i didn't know Mike personally, but was acquainted with him through another online forum...he did not have a military funeral after his death (seems like the powers that be balked at the playing of "Purple Haze" during the service), but through correspondance with a friend of mine at 1st Group at the time, a contingent of men from the SFA chapter there made up his burial party...

i believe Mike McCombs is in Steve Sherman's compliation of those who served in SF in SE Asia...
