THE WALL OF FACES

I am on my 4th bracelet. My others broke in half. So I went to the base and ordered another. Thank you for all you did.

Years ago I wore Lee's bracelet, as many of you did, until it broke in two. Today I was compelled to visit the traveling Wall set up, for just this weekend, in a park in Montgomery County, PA. In DC I did not get a rubbing of his name when the Memorial Wall was first erected. Today I came home with a tangible remembrance of the hero for whom I prayed. May you rest in the Peace of God, Lee, because you gave your life so that others might live. Thank you for your sacrifice.

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.

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

POW-MIA...Never Forget

Johnson. This flag covered CAPT Johnson's casket during his funeral and was sent by his family to the Kitty Hawk to be flown for this anniversary date. CAPT Johnson (pilot) and LT CMDR Lee E. Nordahl (navigator) were shot down and killed on December 20, 1965, while flying a reconnaissance mission over North Vietnam in an RA-5C Vigilante reconnaissance aircraft after taking off from the Kitty Hawk. CAPT Johnson's remains were returned to the United States in 1976 and interned at Arlington National Cemetery in 1977. LT CMDR Nordahl's remains have not been found.
