Camp Named for Seabee
Arnold Joe Faulkner was a 21-year-old Portland Seabee who felt he had a duty to volunteer for a second tour of duty in Vietnam.
He was killed in a construction accident near DaNang last year leaving a wife, Betty and infant daughter, Emma Lou. His father, Willard J. Faulkner, a step mother, two brothers and two sisters live at 3373 SE 17th Ave.
Recently his father was sent a program describing the dedication of a Seabee camp near DaNang named in honor of his son.
The elder Faulkner, who recently suffered a heart attack and is convalescing at home said he was immensely touched and pleased by the Navy's gesture.
He showed a letter written by his son shortly before his shipment overseas in which the youth wrote: "It's a little sad and lonely to go but we both agree it is something that must be done."
"I feel terrible about his death," said his father. "But naming the camp after him was wonderful. That was really something."
The Navy letter to the elder Faulkner explain the official reasons for naming the cantonment Camp Faulkner. In laconic service prose, a release from San Francisco explains it has been the practice in Vietnam to name camps after servicemen killed in that theater.
A letter from Arnold's commanding officer described him as a petty officer who was "well liked, did his job and did it well."

Have no idea if this would be the right Helen Faulkner, if it is she was about 20 years younger than her husband. Lots of Faulkners in the Portland phone directory but no way of identifying if they might be brothers. I didn't find any at the address listed in the information about names on the "Wall".

Navy named Camp Faulkner after him near DaNang, VietNam. Unit he was with was the 3rd NC BDE NMCB-4, rank EOH3.
