THE WALL OF FACES

I was given the MIA bracelet for Dennis C Cressey at Langley Air Force Base, Virginia when my husband was stationed at Fort Eustis. I still have the bracelet and copies of much of the research material available on line about Capt. Cressey and the Major who went down with him. I was relieved to find out several years ago that Capt. Cressey's remains were found and returned to the U.S. Until today, (8/10/17) I had not seen a photo of him or knew where he was buried. Thanks to this website I now know.

If a member of Capt. Cressey's family would like to have the bracelet, I will be happy to give it to them.

Captain Dennis Clarke Cressey, Served with the 390th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 366th Tactical Fighter Wing, 7th Air Force.

Back in the 60's my Mom told us about the bracelets. So we had a tag sale to raise money for a donation so we all could get one. When they arrived we all sat and prayed for the name that was on the bracelet. I was 10 years old. My siblings were 16,14,8. I have kept the bracelet in my jewelry box all these years. I would love to send it to any family members that would like to have it.
Rest in Peace Capt. Dennis Cressey

Wore POW/MIA for years until it broke from repeatedly bending around wrist. Thank You For your service

On May 12, 1972, a USAF F-4E Phantom II (serial number 66-0299) from the 390th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 366th Tactical Fighter Wing from Da Nang Air Base, Republic of Vietnam, was sent on a raid into North Vietnam where it was shot down with the loss of both crewmen, CAPT Samuel Y. Adair Jr. and 1LT Dennis C. Cressey. Recovery of their remains did not occur until November 11, 1974 and the U.S. Government announced that the two crewmen were positively identified on June 26, 1975. 1LT Cressey was a graduate of Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO in 1968 where he was involved with the Big Brothers program there.
