THE WALL OF FACES

I am the Curator of the POW/MIA Bracelet Display in the Vietnam Hangar of the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, California where we now have over two thousand bracelets honoring POWs, MIAs and KIAs and would be honored to include your bracelet in our Display should you have one. If you no longer have your bracelet or wish to keep yours or are an immediate family member (spouse, fiancé, sibling, child, grandchild, cousin, niece, nephew, or close friend) I can order one for the Display in your name with funds donated by our Museum visitors.

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.
