THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from your Arizona State University Air Force ROTC cadets are touching and reflect their admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Dear Major John McElroy, Thank you for your service as a Navigator. I am glad you were identified in 2008. WELCOME 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. Rest in peace with the angels.

As a cadet in AFROTC at Arizona State, I had Major McElroy as my instructor. His gracious spirit as an officer and gentleman encouraged me to move into advanced ROTC my junior year. He loved his native Kentucky. He was a man of integrity, Christian honor, certainly one of the finest men I have ever known.

Major John Lee McElroy, Served with the 774th Tactical Airlift Squadron, 463rd Tactical Airlift Wing, 7th Air Force.

Rest in peace John, and all those who lost their lives in the Battle of Kham Duc. 50 years today. Gone But Not Forgotten.
