THE WALL OF FACES

If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart, and trembling handn to do something to comfort other hearts than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therein comfort you.

Hi Bob, This is your sister, Evelyn. By now, you are together with Mom, Dad, and our brothers Jerry and Chuck. I still miss you so much and think of you all the time. I love you so much and know you are watching over all of your family.

Your little sister, Evelyn

James McEwen in RB-66 tail #53-0452 on 22 Oct 65 while flying a mission from Tan Son Nhut AB where they were assigned to the 9th Tactical Recon Squadron of the 363rd Tactical Recon Wing. A fireball was seen, followed by no radio contact. All three remain listed as MIA.

On Silver Wings
They Flew The Skies
These Brave Young Men
Who fought And Died
When Duty Called
They Send So Brave
Now Families Mourn
Beside Their Grave
Who Can Forget
What Courage They Had
Some Have,Some Did
And That's So Sad

I have not forgotten you. I chair the Adoption Committee for The National League of Families of Prisoners of War and Missing in Action in Southeast Asia. We will always remember the 1,889 Americans still unaccounted for in Southeast Asia and the thousands of others that lost their lives. We will not stop our efforts until all of you are home where you belong.

We need to reach the next generation so that they will carry on when our generation is no longer able. To do so, we are attempting to locate photographs of all the missing. If you are reading this remembrance and have a photo and/or memory of this missing American that you would like to share for our project, please contact me at:
