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.

Never forgotten.

Welcome Home.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from fellow airman Dave Crouse is moving. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us.

Don,
I have cherished the times we flew together and how much you taught me. I ended up surviving our cruise and in good part to what you taught me. I can still remember that first mission as the missiles flew through us and your face when we returned. It was a bit close but we would see many more. Your loss hit me hard, I couldn't believe you were gone but you will never be forgotten!
