THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. It remains my fervent hope you will be returned home after the passage of so many years.

Lieutenant McDonough, U.S. Naval Reserve, was a member of Carrier Early Warning Squadron 13, Carrier Air Wing 15 aboard the Aircraft Carrier USS CONSTELLATION (CVA-64). On June 20, 1966, he was the pilot of a Douglas Sky raider Electronic Surveillance Aircraft (EA-1F) on a night mission. During the launch the bridle connecting the aircraft to the catapult broke, and the aircraft fell of the carrier bow and sang. His remains were not recovered.

On the remembrance of your 82nd birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

POW-MIA...Never Forget

Semper Fortis

Dear Lt John McDonough, Thank you for your service as an Unrestricted Line Officer - Pilot on the USS HANCOCK. You are still MIA. Please come home. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Time passes quickly, but our world needs help. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness. Be at peace.

I would like to say you were a Hero to me and to say thank you. If I am half the man you are I would be honored.
