Thank You
Dear Captain Ladewig, Thank you for your service as a Tactical Fighter Pilot. You are still MIA. Please come home. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. For many of us, today is Ash Wednesday. The time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels

Thank you for guiding me. Thank you for my freedom.
I have carried a wristband that bears your name since 1987. I received it when I was in ROTC at the University of Colorado at Boulder. I looked up your place of rest in that jungle, and will never forget you. Thank you, Sir. As long as I am alive, you are with me.

In Honor of Melvin
My name is Michael E. Leit. I have a bracelet with Melvina name on it. We have the same initials, MEL. I was partly inspired to join the Air Force because of Melvin's honorable service. I achieved the rank of Lt Colonel. I took a 7 year. Real and I am in the process of reentering the service now. May he rest in peace and one day return home.
