THE WALL OF FACES

CDR David Greiling I wore your name proudly every day for years beginning in high school. I prayed everyday that you would return to accept the profound gratitude you so deeply deserved. Rest easy hero, my gratitude continues.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who wore/wear your MIA bracelet are moving. It remains my fervent hope you will be returned home after all these years.

I wore his bracelet until it was worn out and broke in two. I then made another out of spring steel. If I remember correctly his status was changed to KIA. I'm a Navy Vet who served during Vietnam and a published poet. I wrote a poem about Scott, took the bracelet, straightened it out and framed the bracelet and poem. I left it at THE WALL. Semper Fortis

I’ve worn Commander Greilings
Bracelet since my college days in the 60’s. I never gave up hope. If he’s in Heaven then I’ll wait until it’s my turn to salute him in spirit. As an old veteran myself I seem to become so emotional when I’m reminded of the horrible things the the wars have wrought upon our men.
God bless our troops…

Commander David Scott Greiling, Served with Attack Squadron 82 (VA-82), Carrier Air Wing 6 (CVW-6), USS America, Task Force 77 (TF-77), 7th Fleet.
