1St Sgt Jim Heine was my first sergeant in Vietnam, Marine Observation Squadron Six, 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, Quang Tri Combat Base
1968-69. Many of the Marines of VMO-6 reconnected with 1Sgt Heine several years ago. He was well liked,well respected and a fine Marine. The entire Heine family and all of the folks in his community should know that he was held in the highest esteem. God bless you 1Sgt Heine, and Semper Fidelis.
