THE WALL OF FACES

I too wore a bracelet in his honor, so glad to learn 40 + years later he was recovered and brought home.

Lieutenant Colonel Paul Everett Getchell, Served with the 8th Bomb Squadron, 35th Tactical Fighter Wing, 7th Air Force.

When I was in the 7th grade I wore a POW bracelet for Major Paul Getchell. I never took it off until it broke in half. No one ever told me if he made it home. About 18 years ago, I went to DC and found his name on the VN Vet Memorial Wall ?? RIP??

Dear Ltc Paul Getchell,
Thank you for your service as a Bombardier-Navigator. I am glad you were identified in 2006. Welcome Home. Happy Advent. It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Bracelet says "MAJ" so I hope this is the right Veteran. I have had my bracelet with your name since 1970. I have prayed and thought of you often.
Thank you for your life for our country.
Annette Wood
