THE WALL OF FACES

Chief Warrant Officer Dennis Clark Hamilton, Served with the 176th Assault Helicopter Company, 14th Aviation Battalion, 16th Aviation Group, Americal Division, United States Army Vietnam.

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace CWO. Hamilton, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. It heartens me you were returned home though I wish it had been under very different circumstances. May you rest in eternal peace.

I wore Dennis' POW/MIA bracelet for 3 years-while I was in High School. I did not find out about his "status" until the 1990's. My niece saw that his name was on the War Memorial Wall. I posted on a website ... and was blessed to be contacted by his PO. We have remained e-mail friends all of these years. He shared with me that Dennis LOVED sardines ... which gave him more rations than the other men ... because no one else liked them ... and the others would give them all to Dennis.
In the earlier 2000's Dennis' remains were finally recovered and brought home to his family. Happily he was never a POW and died with the other men on the date of incident. Thank you men for your Service.

I, too, have the POW bracelet for CWO Dennis Hamilton. I have had it since I was a sophomore in high school (1970). I have always wanted to thank CWO Hamilton for his service to our country and the sacrifice his made for us which cost him his young life. Words just seem so inadequate. The bracelet is kept in my jewelry box and I wear it every Veteran's Day as a reminder, not only to me, but to others of the life given up while serving this nation. May he Rest in Peace and know that he and the other men and women from our generation who served in Vietnam should never be forgotten.
Most Sincerely,
