THE WALL OF FACES

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your mother reflects the anguish so many families experienced as a result of this war. May you rest in eternal peace.

I was a Huey crew chief in the same aviation section as Terry. H&H 2nd Bde 1st Air Cav.My ship flew a C&C mission for the 1/5 Cav a (Col Runkle) on 3 April 1968. We were flying low level when an AK-47 opened up on us. We took 2 rounds and made back to base. My ship was red x and could not fly. The next day,the 4th of April Terrys ship got the same mission with the 1/5 Cav.They were shot down with only one survivor. All these years later I have felt terrible about that day. I would have been on that mission had we not taken the rounds the day before. RIP Terry.I tried to find his parents in Marathon Fl with no luck. Just wanted to say sorry for their loss and that I knew Terry.Ron Lauer,Fort Myers FL.
