Captain Charles Ronald Barnes, Served with the Command Aviation Company, 210th Aviation Battalion, 12th Aviation Group, 1st Aviation Brigade, United States Army Vietnam.

He was my cousin and we knew him as Sonny. His parents never got to know that his remains were found, as they had passed by then. We had always wondered what had happened as little detail was known at the time. I am truly grateful that dedicated people kept searching for our MIAs. We are forever in their debt.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Mark Davidson is especially poignant. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever....

Back in the early or mid 1970s my mom bought me a POW bracelet to wear in order to remember those who had not returned from Vietnam. I was a young teen at the time, but always kept the bracelet. As I was going through old photos and momentos, I found my bracelet! I googled his name and found this update!! While I am saddened that Captain Barnes did not survive, I am glad his remains were returned. May he Rest In Peace. Thank you for your service. Respectfully, Joyce
