THE WALL OF FACES

thank you is never enough

thinking of you and your supreme sacrifice, thank you

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your sister Theresa is moving and reflects the anguish experienced by so many families that lost loved ones in this war. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Mr Hughes (a warrant officer is referred to as "Mister") was a great, fun guy. In aviation we had a special relationship between the pilots and their crewmembers including the crew chiefs and door gunners. I liked Mr Hughes a lot.
I was on R&R in Australia when his ship went down and we lost all those guys. Until just now I didn't realized he was buried in Savannah as I was at Ft Stewart for nearly 2 years after leaving Vietnam. I would certainly have gone by and maybe had a toast in his honor.
If any family members read this, please get in touch. Our Lancers organization is seeking gold star families of our fallen brothers.
