THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from John David is touching and reflects his admiration and respect fir you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

I was a flight deck troubleshooter in VF-143 and helped launch Lt Commander Frawley on his last mission. He was an outstanding pilot with over 5,000 hours flying the F-4... It was a pleasure to work with him and a real tragedy when he and Christensen did not return... I think of them from time to time and relive that awful day when they did not return
