THE WALL OF FACES

Major Warren L Gould served as a Pilot in World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. He was awarded, among other medals, the Distinguished Flying Cross for heroism and extraordinary achievement while engaged in flight. He was assigned during his service in Vietnam to the 13th Bombardment Squadron, 35th Tactical Fighter Wing, 7th Air Force.

Warren Gould was my father-I was just an infant when his plane was shot down. Posting here what my mother always wanted his headstone to read:
With a cheery smile and a wave of his hand, he wandered into the promised land.

Dear Major Warren Gould,
Thank you for your service as a Tactical Aircraft Pilot. 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.

On September 19, 1966, pilot MAJ Warren L. Gould and navigator CPT William S. Davis III comprised the crew of a USAF Martin B-57B Canberra (#52-1541), a twin-jet tactical bomber and reconnaissance aircraft from the 13th Bomb Squadron, 35th Tactical Fighter Wing, 7th Air Force. Their B-57 was the number two plane in a flight of two and was flying in trail formation a mile behind lead aircraft while returning from a strike mission when they were shot down by anti-aircraft fire ten miles southwest of Chu Lai in Quang Ngai Province, RVN. When the lead attempted a voice contact and received no answer, he pulled up, reversed course, and observed a column of smoke and the wreckage of number two aircraft. Both Gould and Davis were killed in the incident. The lead aircraft did not see or hear ground fire in the area; however, rescue aircraft experienced light ground fire in recovering the remains.
