Kenneth Lee Worley

Kenneth Lee Worley, who was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for heroism in Vietnam in August 1968, was born 27 April 1948, in Farmington, New Mexico, and completed Farmington Elementary School in 1962. He attended Hot Spring High School in Truth or Consequences, New Mexico, for two years.

Unfortunately for America, that is just about all that is known about Kenneth Worley. He seems to be but a ghost in time. Just a whiper in our ear to remind us of the pain and horror that we came to know as Vietnam.

After reading the news article about Kenneth earlier this year, Dad decided to pursue the matter further. It turns out there is growing interest in finding out not only more information about L/Cpl Kenneth Lee Worley, Medal of Honor recepient, but to also build a memorial to his memory.
