POW/MIA BRACELET DISPLAY - PALM SPRINGS AIR MUSEUM

I am the Curator of the POW/MIA Bracelet Display in the Vietnam Hangar of the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, California where we now have more than two thousand bracelets honoring POWs, MIAs and KIAs and would be honored to include your bracelet in our Display should you have one. If you no longer have your bracelet or wish to keep yours or are an immediate family member (spouse, fiancé, sibling, child, grandchild, cousin, niece, nephew, or close friend) I can order one for the Display in your name with funds donated by our Museum visitors.

Final Mission of LT Joseph G. Greenleaf

LT Joseph G. Greenleaf and LT Clemie McKinney served with Fighter Squadron 114 (VF-114), Carrier Air Wing Eleven (CVW-11), embarked aboard the USS Kitty Hawk (CV-63). On April 14, 1972, pilot Greenleaf and Radar Intercept Officer (RIO) McKinney were crew members in a McDonnell Douglas F-4J Phantom II aircraft (#157252), call sign Linfield 203, on a strike mission in the vicinity of the Demilitarized Zone between North and South Vietnam. During the bomb run, their jet was hit in the cockpit area by anti-aircraft artillery and crashed. The Phantom was observed throughout the dive bomb run and impact by the Forward Air Controller (FAC). The FAC reported seeing no ejections and stated that the aircraft impacted and exploded with canopies in place one mile south of Cam Lo village. On August 14, 1985, the Vietnamese government returned remains they associated with McKinney to U.S. custody. Although McKinney's family disputed the finding, the Navy determined in February 1988 the remains were McKinney's. Greenleaf’s remains have not been accounted for.
