THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever….

Dear WO Johnston Milligan, Thank you for your service as an Utility & Light Cargo Single Rotor Helicopter Pilot. I researched you on the 53rd anniversary of the start of your tour. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it comes from the heart. Halloween is soon. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

Warrant Officer Johnson Marcus Milligan, Served with B Troop, 7th Squadron, 17th Cavalry Regiment, 1st Aviation Brigade, United States Army Vietnam.

Dear WO Johnson Marcus Milligan, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, Sir

Curt Carter

On takeoff, aircraft began a descent, caused by a suspected gross overweight. The tail stinger hit the ground and wire. The aircraft slid down into a gully until striking the other side of the gully, whence it started to burn. Fire was extinguished. The crash caused fatal injuries to pilot WO1 Johnson M. Milligan. The three other crewmen survived their injuries. [Taken from vhpa.org]
