THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. It remains my fervent hope you will be returned home after the passage of so many years.

I finally find some info on this brave man…..I wore his PIW bracelet all through college and kept hoping I would see him come home. You are a hero. Rest In Peace. S. Webb

I bought my bracelet when I was in high school wearing it all the time, hoping and praying Clive Jeffs would come home. Never taking it off, it developed a rough spot which irritated my wrist. I needed to place a band-aid over that spot in order to keep wearing it. I am now 70 and decided it was time to come full circle for Mr. Jeffs. Yesterday I donated my bracelet to a local Vietnam War Museum where it will be displayed with all the other incredible memorabilia. Rest in peace Clive Jeffs and know you will never be forgotten.

On March 12, 1971, 1LT Clive G. Jeffs was the lead pilot in a North American F-100D Super Sabre (#56-3415), call sign Blade 71, in a flight of two from the 614th Tactical Fighter Squadron on a combat mission over South Vietnam. Enroute to the target area, Jeffs’ Super Sabre experienced an engine flameout. After unsuccessfully restarting his engine, Jeffs ejected from the jet. His wingman observed the ejection, saw the parachute canopy fully deployed, and kept the parachute under observation until Jeffs descended into the undercast. At that time, the wingman determined the location to be in Darlac Province, approximately thirty-one miles southwest of Duc My Airfield. Search and rescue (SAR) forces were contacted, and SAR efforts were conducted during daylight hours for the next ten days without success. Beeper signals were heard for a short period of time, but no voice contact was established. The rescue teams were hampered by bad weather and the SAR was suspended March 22nd. In August 1974, a site was visited by Army of the Republic of Vietnam personnel who recovered enough wreckage to determine that the aircraft was an F-100; however, no human remains were found.
