CWO 3 Schultz #
MOS:
In June 1973, I came into possession of a POW/MIA bracelet with Warrant Officer Schultz's name on it.
I wrote to his parents, Mr. and Mrs. George A. Schultz, in Altoona, PA to find out something about him. They sent me a photo of him and said he had graduated from the Altoona Area High School in 1966. He joined the Army after graduation wanting to be a helicopter pilot. He received his wings at Fort Rucker, Alabama.
He left for Viet Nam on December 5, 1967. The last letter his parents received from him was dated January 3, 1968. It was the last they'd ever hear from him.
He was married six months when he'd left for Viet Nam. No children. His widow eventually remarried.
In 1979, he was officially declared dead.

Funeral services set for Altoonan shot down 39 years ago during war. Funeral services with full military honors will be held Aug. 14 for an Altoona serviceman who was shot down 39 years ago in Laos during the Vietnam War, his family said Wednesday.
Chief Warrant Officer Sheldon D. Schultz of Altoona piloted a Huey helicopter when he and his four-member crew were hit by artillery fire Jan. 5, 1968.
The services will be held at Old Post Chapel, Fort Myer, Va., with interment and graveside services to follow at Arlington National Cemetery.
Schultz received a Purple Heart, Good Conduct Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Vietnamese Campaign Medal, Vietnamese Service Medal, Army Aviator Wings and Expert Marksmanship Badge with Automatic Rifle and Pistol bars.
Schultz's name is engraved on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and its replica, The Wall That Heals, on the grounds of the Van Zandt VA Medical Center.
Until now, Schultz; Sgt. 1st Class Ernest Frank Briggs Jr.; Sgt. 1st Class James D. Williamson; and Chief Warrant Officer Dennis Clark Hamilton were unaccounted for. Schultz was unaccounted for, despite the Department of Defense declaring him dead in 1979.
