THE WALL OF FACES

Never forgotten.

HOOAH

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your brother Tim is especially poignant. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us....

Ron, thank you for you taking time to teach me about cleaning and maintaining the M 60. After the 1 st mission I went on with the 240 th AHC, with George Dell KIA 6-25-68, you heard what a mess it turned into without me ever being in a chopper, going into a hot LZ, having the m 60 jam and I didn’t know anything about it you told me if I wanted to go home alive you would teach me how to keep & maintain the m 60; you took the time and worked with me and taught me how to clean and make sure all the Sweapons were cleaned & in working order.Thank You, May you RIP

My name is Tim Hastings a brother of SSGT Steven M Hastings, Crew Chief of Mad Dog 36 which went missing 8/1/68. I am presently the POW/MIA Outreach Coordinator for “Run For The Wall” 2019 Midway Route. It my Honor and duty to put together Bio’s for the riders to carry with them from Ontario, CA to the Vietnam Memorial Wall. Since my brother was a member of the 240th AHC I am making sure that every man from the 240th AHC that lost his life in Vietnam or is still MIA, has his Bio carried to the Memorial Wall in 2019. While preparing these Bio’s I am very emotional because some of these men may have been forgotten by their communities but I will never forget them. As long as we remember them and say their names they will always be with us and never forgotten. Thank You for your service.

Ronald you died with my brother Tom Davino 50yrs ago on July 3rd.. I remember that day as if it was yesterday. You are truly a Hero sir! You are respected and loved by every Vietnam Vet that served in that horrific war. You are in my heart with the other 5 men that died that horrible day 50yrs ago. As sad as I am I take comfort knowing that my brother walks with you! My prayers are with you always!
