THE WALL OF FACES

Hello. My name is Mrs. Chris Malanczuk. My father was Lt. Col. David J. Kasznia who flew in the Vietnam War and was also assigned to the 606 Special Operation Squadron in Nakhon Phanom, Thailand. My mother recently came across this “Service of Prayer and Remembrance” which took place for six MIA’s in December 1968. Our family wanted to share this memento with your family as it is our understanding that your loved one is still MIA. We are burying my father on May 1, 2023 at Arlington National Cemetery. We will be thinking and praying for the six Candlesticks members who have not made it home yet. God Bless!

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 and would be honored to include your bracelet in our Display. If you are an immediate family member (spouse, fiancé, sibling, son, daughter or grandchild) I can order one for the Display in your name.

My father is a Vietnam US Air Force Veteran. He was stationed in Thailand and Vietnam. To this day, he still wears you bracelet. My siblings and I have grown up knowing your story. This weekend I had my children in DC at the Vietnam Memorial and made sure to pay our respects and tell them you story.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. It remains my fervent hope you will be returned home after all these years.

On the remembrance of your 85th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

POW-MIA...Never Forget
