Charter.net, Risk Management, wrote to VSPA: “Please inform the people necessary that David A. Baker died Feb 2, 2014. It was Agent Orange suspect blood cell cancer, which took his life in three weeks, having originated in either his lungs or prostrate. The doctors are not yet certain.” At the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., near the flag and Three Warriors, a plague is laying in the garden area which states: “In Memory of the Men and Women who served in the Vietnam War, and Later Died as a Result of Their Service, We Honor and Remember Their Sacrifice.” David Baker’s name is now inscribed with the ranks of our VSPA RIP-111 members.
