God Bless you Rufus I'm glad your back home. We searched for everyone on this flight and I am relieved your remains have returned and your spirit is with our Father.

Dear Ssgt Rufus Falkner,
Thank you for your service with the 1st Aviation BDE. 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 served with SSGT Faulkner at An Son 1971. I think he served 30 years and he was going to retire. Was flying to Cam Ranh Bay to leave country but died with 5 other guys from our unit when the Chinook he was flying on crashed. He was MIA for many years. A good man.

I served wth Sargent Falkner in Viet Nam in 1966-67 in Di An,122nd signal corps. He was a great giving man who often spoke of his family. May he rest in peace my friend,and God bless.,
Your old friend, tony scopino,st. Louis, mo.
