THE WALL OF FACES

Donald Paul was killed while on a rescue mission to save a downed pilot. He had made many such rescues and was always ready to go on another. I was stationed in
Japan when he was killed but the first word I received was that he was missing. Had lots of good times growing up in Iowa.

Petty Officer Second Class Donald Paul Mc Grane was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross for his heroism and extraordinary achievement while participating in aerial flight. He served as an Aviation Antisubmarine Warfare Technician and was assigned to HS-2, CVW-14, USS CONSTELLATION, TF 77, 7TH FLEET.

Remember to save for them a place inside of you, and save one backward glance when you are leaving, for the places they can no longer go...

Never forgotten.

Semper Fortis.
