THE WALL OF FACES

I too wore the MIA bracelet with your name on it, hoping you were rescued, throughout the seventies. Now, seeing this confirmation that you were found but not alive, saddens me.
Thank-you, Sir, for your service and the ultimate sacrifice that you made. Rest in peace, Lt. Colonel.

I treated this HERO in 1967 at DMAFB Tucson AZ Physical Therapy after he had helicopter crash. He was a true joy to be around. He was more like a friend not a Major in the Air Force. He treated all with respect. I had tears when I heard he went back to Nam. Had tears when I knew his wife was in misery when he was MIA. Have tears today writing this memo. God be with you, Col. ! ssgt Nick Mac Dowell

I've worn your MIA bracelet for decades Sir. Just did some research and it was confirmed you were KIA. The crash site was located and the grave where you were buried. The DNA of the bones they found confirmed it was your Sir. I'm heartbroken. Even though it's been decades, I was still holding out that you might be located. RIP Sir. I know the Lord is taking good care of you. God bless.

I'm proud to live in a country that continues to produce men like Ivan Applybe. I pray for all the other young men and women in harms way. God Bless them and their families.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. Rest in eternal peace.
