THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Captain Eugene Jewell, Thank you for your service as a Tactical Aircraft Pilot. Your 54th anniversary just passed, sad. You are still MIA. Please come home. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It's the end of summer. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

I purchased a bracelet , late 60’s/70..... your name was on it and I wore it and prayed over it for Ur safety daily/regularly. Thanx for ur precious Service! And ultimate sacrifice Eugene M Jewell from Cheryl Dalton

Just as an aside......my very beloved son, I named after this incredible man. My sons name is Michael Eugene Jewell. He is a contributor on this page...and is now close to the age when my father was shot down.

I am the son of this brave man. He was shot down 2 months and 2 days before i was born, I have never heard his voice. There is a great mystery about his shoot down, with Capt Branch the other pilot, and subsequent capture. His plane was found when an investigation was done only a dozen years ago, or so. His seat had ejected {Capt Branchs remains were verified in the craft }......there is a lot, lot more to it. In the end I wish I could have gone fishing with him at least once as a small boy. This was my father.......I miss him..... If some are curious I could write the whole long story about him, just ask and give your email. I am so very touched by the honor you show him, and my family.

I received my bracelet in the early '70's. After some years it did finally break, but I still have it in my jewelry box. It is how I can honor him and the many others that served and made the ultimate sacrifice....
