You may find these sites helpful as a beginning (in order of relevance, the first one contained the above):
http://www.accessgenealogy.com/military/vietnam.php
http://www.geocities.com/tlwolf98/marine16.html
http://www.vetfriends.com/?source=google500c

Many states maintain an archive such as this:
http://www.archives.gov/research/vietnam-war/casualty-lists/nv-alpha.html


However, the US depatment of Veteran's Affairs will be the place to request detailed information from. Remember, they will only be likely to provide information already available to the public. If you know what state David was from, you can contact the department local to him.
