Vietnam Veterans of the Dunlop/Dunlap Name

 Commander Thomas E. Dunlop (on right)
The Carrier Air Group 15 commander flying with Attack Squadron 22 when it departed on its 1972 cruise on the Carrier USS Coral Sea was CDR Thomas E. Dunlop, an A7 pilot. Early in May, Dunlop launched on a mission over Quang Binh Province. When he was about 5 miles south of the city of Dong Hoi, North Vietnam, Dunlop's aircraft was hit by a surface-to-air missile (SAM) and he was forced to eject. His remains were recovered in 2004 and he is now buried at Arlington.
