THE WALL OF FACES

Lieutenant Colonel Gary Henry Fors, Served with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 122 (VMFA-122), Marine Aircraft Group 11 (MAG-11), 1st Marine Aircraft Wing (1st MAW), Third Marine Amphibious Force.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who wear/wore your MIA bracelet are moving. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..

I was a very young girl in the late 60's when I started wearing Gary Fors bracelet. I was so moved and so honored - I even wrote to his family and received a letter back from his mother. Years later I saw Gary's name on the Vietnam War Memorial in Washing DC. What an extraordinary way for a young person to learn, understand and respect those who have gone too soon in sacrifice for the rest of us! I only wish we could bring back this type of vehicle to teach this generation about the all-too-many who have paid the ultimate price for ALL of us! On this Memorial Day, May 30th 2022, I am still wearing that same bracelet as I have done every Memorial Day. God Bless our veterans and all of those who continue to serve!

Never forget.

Semper Fi, Marine

Sir you stand remembered this new year and always. From wearing your MIA bracelet in college, to finding your F-4 crash site in Laos in ‘98 with Bill Gadoury. You’re service was and is never forgotten sir. GBA!
