Dear Captain Walter Draeger,
Thank you for your service as a Tactical Aircraft Pilot (Various.) You are still MIA. Please come home.
We remember all you who gave their all. It has been too long, and it's about time 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 think of you every time I read about someone that has come home. I keep asking about you but so far nothing. I see your name on your parents headstone, as they are resting near my grandparents and Uncle. I always visit and leave flowers and a flag. I will keep hoping that someday you too will come home to Wisconsin so you can Rest in Peace at St.Paul's too.
