Info Sheet on Roger M. "Ramjet" Olson
Deceased 2 July 2018 (can you provide a photo?)
………………………………………………………………………………………………………
In the August 2018 Newsletter we published this info on CW2 Roger M. Olson (deceased 2 July 2018):
Roger M Olsen CW2 1967: We believe that he is deceased but need more information. He may have had the nickname "Ramjet". John Moore provided the following information:
"Gene, the 11th ACR pilot, has done his due diligence. The family didn't publish an Obit. He checked with the Helicopter Pilots Association and also verified thru Google. Gene said he and Roger went to flight school together and they were in contact six months ago. So he is sure this is the right guy. I called the funeral home and they verified he was cremated there. As a side note, I looked in the 1967/68/69 officer registers of Army officers. Roger M Olson CW2 does not have a birth date listed in any of the 3 registers. His BPED is 21 Jan 1963. DOR was 11 Jan 67." Tom Fleming thinks that this may be Roger's obit."
