THE WALL OF FACES

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Roscoe Henry Fobair, for your courageous and valiant service to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Sir, you shall never be forgotten!

Again, thank you LTCOL R.H. Fobair, for a job well done!

MAYBE ONE DAY SOON.....UNTIL THEN....HEAVENLY PEACE MY FRIEND

If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

Ross was my neighbor in pilot training at Webb AFB TX 1963. I read or heard that he was one of the first losses to SAMS over the north. Can anyone confirm or add details?

I keep your bracelet on my desk as a reminder of a time when war was at our back door.. a time when families were deeply divided by their beliefs.. And, to remind me that the thin layer of civilization must be carefully tended today as never more. I pray that Major Fobair rests in peace.

I wore his bracelet during the war and although I did not know him, I thought of him every day. My heart goes out to the family he left behind.
