As indicated in the 8 Dec 20 Remembrance, below, Capt. Gareiss hailed from Chicago, IL - NOT Annapolis, MD (home of the U.S. Naval Academy). Where is a Remembrance on these VVMF pages from even ONE of his USNA 1957 classmates? Sad!

Information about the crash of an A-1E Skyraider aircraft from the 1st Air Commando Sqdn piloted by Captain Kurt William Gareiss, USNA Class of 1957, U.S. Air Force, in Southeast Asia (SEA) (over South Vietnam) on 24 February 1965 is available at this link/URL on the Vietnam Air Losses website:

Still fondly remembered by our family. Home town is actually Chicago area not MD.
