THE WALL OF FACES

From a contemporary news report:

"On October 27, 1994, the Air Force announced that they had identified the remains of thirteen servicemen killed during the Vietnam War, including twelve who were on an AC-130A shot down over the A-Shau Valley on June 18, 1972. According to a news report from Travis Air Force Base, California, three of the twelve members of the crew (Major Gerald F. Ayers, Captain Mark Danielson and Senior Master
Sergeant Jacob Mercer) had ben individually identified and the nine other crew members (Tech Sergeant Richard Cole,Captain Paul Gilbert, Major Robert Harrison, Sergeant Leon Hunt, Sergeant Donald Klinke, Sergeant Stanley Lehrke,
Sergeant Larry Newman, Sergeant Richard Nyhof and Captain Robert Wilson)had been 'identified' as a group.

"On November 17, 1994, a group burial of the co-mingled remains of the AC-130 crew was held at Arlington National Cemetery.

It may seem odd that a British citizen would wear a bracelet but it does not seem to to me.
I am roughly of an agegroup with Gerald Ayres and bought his bracelet when in DC visiting The Wall. I wear it proudly in his name.

I wore your MIA bracelet when I was a child. I was too young to understand what it meant. Now I read your name on the wall and I know you never made it home.
