PFC Reginald Joe Abernethy, Vietnam Veteran, Native of Maiden, North Carolina.
PFC Reginald Joe Abernethy was a member of the Army Selective Service and a Draftee. PFC Abernethy served our country until March 22nd, 1971 in Quang Tri, South Vietnam. He was 22 years old and was not married. It was reported that Reginald died from small arms fire or grenade. His body was recovered. Reginald was born on October 26th, 1948 in Maiden, North Carolina. PFC Abernethy is on panel 04W, line 065 of the Vietnam Memorial Wall in Washington DC.
Reggie and I graduated from Maiden High School in 1966. Each time Reggie crosses my mind that unforgettable smile of his and the twinkle in his eye brightens my day. Reggie's time with us is always remembered during our class reuions. He will always be missed. I only wish he knew how proud I am of him for his service to our country. Tracy Heffner.
We were college classmates. As a young man who grew up across the street from Reggie, he was an inspiration to us all. In high school I played football with his nephew Rodney and he will always have a special place in our hearts and Maiden High School. I was showing my students in US History about the Vietnam War and was able to access this site and was able to share Reggie's story. By Butch Parker.
Reggie loved to play baseball. Even though I was a couple of years older than Reggie, I spent many hours on the school bus with him because we lived on the same bus route. My most vivid memory of Reggie is that when the bus stopped to pick him up he would usually be bouncing a ball off the brick chimney on his house front and catching it with his baseball glove. No telling how many baseballs he wore out that way. Because he was younger than me, I did not get to know him very well. I now regret not getting to know him better. As the years go by, I still think of him often and the image I always go back to is of him bouncing a ball off that chimney. By Robert Parker.
