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.

On the remembrance of your 78th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

POW-MIA...Never Forget

Semper Fortis

Dear LTJG Fredric Knapp, Thank you for your service as an Unrestricted Line Officer (Pilot) on the USS Oriskany. You are still MIA. Please come home. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is the Epiphany, Merry Christmas and happy New Year in heaven. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

In a just world you'd be iin your seventies, retired and a grandfather. I'll never forget our dates - movies and food and lots of laughs, and you wore Old Spice. If your family reads this, please know that your son remains in the thoughts of those who knew him, whether it was for a short time (like me) or longer (like his classmates and friends in the Navy).

Lieutenant Junior Grade Fredric Woodrow Knapp, Served with Attack Squadron 164 (VA-164), Carrier Aircraft Wing 16 (CVW-16), Task Force 77 (TF-77), USS Oriskany, 7th Fleet.
