THE WALL OF FACES

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

God Bless you Dwight. I am sorry you went down. We miss you. We were F4 RTU classmates at Homestead AFB and both of us went to URTAFB in Thailand, him to the 555TFS and I to the 13TFS. We heard when he went down but there were always questions of whether or not they bailed out. I have seen his name on the memorial in Washington, D.C. As classmates we all knew each other and wives. We hung out together all the time at the bar and at parties. I remember how he had such a deep laugh and was a happy go lucky guy. As far as I know he was the only fatality in Vietnam from our training classes. So sorry for Peg's loss at such a young age. This web site contains the most I ever found out about Dwight's loss.

Dear Lt Dwight Cook,
Thank you for your service as a Navigator. It is 2018, Happy New Year. It is so important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I was a senior in high school and our class initiated Dwight and his class into Center Point, IA high school. I was class of 1963 and dated his sister who was also in my class. I will be visiting the travelling wall this weekend while it is at Omaha, NE. I am also a Vietnam Vet 1966-67.

Dear 1LT Dwight William Cook, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, Sir

Curt Carter
