THE WALL OF FACES

Lieutenant Junior Grade John Bryan Golz, Served with Attack Squadron 172 (VA-172), Carrier Air Wing 8 (CVW-8), USS Shangri-La, Task Force 77 (TF-77), 7th Fleet.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who served with you are moving and attest to their admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

I didn't personally know John, but found out from my former neighbor in Rock Island,
Chuck Scott who flew off same carrier in Nam, that John had died in action.
I was a Navy Hospital Corpsman in VN prior to John's death and believe me when I say the Marines I served with and myself cheered every time we would get air support from from those Navy jets. I'm sure John, in the skies in heaven is still watching over all of us on earth.

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace LTJG. Golz, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family. Fair winds and following sea!

On the remembrance of your 76th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

POW-MIA...Never forget
