CNN wrote that Laurel resident Max Beilke also died in the attacks. Laurel straddles several counties, however, and the news outlet did not mention which one Beilke was from. The 69-year-old was a retired master sergeant in the Army, Legacy.com explained. The obituary added that he "was the last American combat soldier to leave Vietnam in 1973."
