THE WALL OF FACES

Ronald has a military stone in his memory at Forest Hill Cemetery, Moores Hill,IN.

This is for those who will read this in the future. I am Ron's sister. I know that he has preceeded me to our Heavenly Home and that one day we will meet again. I have always regretted that he was taken from us too soon.

I was only a year and 4 months when my Uncle was taken from us. I am told that he loved me dearly and loved to make me laugh. I hold that in my heart.

USS CONSTELLATION (CVA-64).
On October 2,1969, a C-2A TRADER cargo was transferring crewmen from the
Naval Air Station, Cubi Point, Republic of the Philippines, to the
USS CONSTELLATION on station in the Gulf of Tonkin. The C-2A was
inbound and in the hands of the marshal air controller up to 10
nautical miles from the ship when it went off the radar scopes.
Helicopter search and rescue was initiated from the ship.
Although the helicopter crew sighted an oil slick and debris, none
of the bodies of the 26 crew and passengers were found.
GOD bless them all.

Ronnie was one of the 18 from Dearborn Co., Indiana who died in Vietnam. He was honored when the Moving Wall came to Lawrenceburg, In, in June of 2002. The local newspaer printed an article about each of the 18 along with a picture. May he rest in peace !!
