THE WALL OF FACES

Every year since 1968 I think of you, Gary Pate and Melvin Rash. Especially you because we were roommates at Naha and were all flying the Blindbat missions at Ubon. John you said to me at Naha before leaving for Ubon that you needed to show me where all your personal belongings were stored because you were not coming back. I said okay and told him I would be on the way to Ubon the following week so we could talk about it. After arriving at Ubon our missions were set up to fly early evening and late night. So John, Gary and Melvin were on their mission and I along with Louis, and Sonny were on the other. That night you were shot down and as the "sister flight" we did a search but no success. We were friends and will never be forgotten.

I WAS HONORED TO HAVE YOUR BRACELET, I WATCHED WHEN EVER MEN GOT OFF OF THE PLANES TO SEE IF YOU WERE THERE. SO MANY LIVES LOST, I WAS SORRY YOU WERE ONE OF THEM. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY I WANT THEM TO KNOW THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE CARED VERY MUCH.

I have had John’s bracelet and wore it periodically for over 50 years. I am a Vietnam vet and returned home three months after John gave his life for his country.
