THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your friend Big Jim is touching and reflects his admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

MIA...Never forget.

HOOAH

Dear PFC Vaughn Hines, Thank you for your service as an Airborne Sensor Specialist. You are still MIA. Please come home. This week is Flag Day, and there is no better way to respect the flag than respect all of you. Watch over the USA, it still needs your courage. Rest in peace with the angels.

PFC Hines, You are remembered. Sensor Operator with OV-1C 60-3746 on that ill-fated flight.

Vaughn, I will never forget that cold morning when you and I were walking to school in 1960, I had a t-shirt on and you had a jacket. You said good morning to me as we walked together. I was kidding but I asked you if I could wear your jacket and you stopped and took off your jacket. Vaughn you were one of the best guys a man could know. I am bitter Vaughn, I feel you left way too soon. I wish you could have been married, could have had children, could have gone to your children's open house at school, like your Mom and Dad did for you back in 1955. Vaughn, I know what you would say to me right now. You would tell me not to be bitter and upset, you would tell me you are happy and everything is just fine and you would be smiling the whole time. Vaughn it is OK Buddy, you got to see Jesus before a lot of us. good-bye Buddy, see you one of these days, Hey i have a jacket for you...........

Big Jim
