THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lt Maxim Parker, Thank you for your service with the VMFA - 314th. I researched you on your 54th anniversary, sad. Glad you were identified in 2001. WELCOME HOME. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Lent, the Annunciation and it’s spring. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

My name is Robin Stice Maroney. My Father flew with Major Morrill and 2nd Lieutenant Maxim Parker. My Father's name is Major Ray B. Stice. He was the Executive Officer of Marine Air Base Squadron 13 in Chu Lai. I recently found all the letters he wrote when he served in Vietnam, and I found the Memorial Service Program of both officers who died in this air accident on 18 March 1967. The memorial program is dated 10 April 1967. If any of you reading this perhaps knew my Father, Major Ray Stice, I would really love to visit with you. He died in 1978, and reading all of his letters has been so amazing to me and my siblings. He talked about how sad he was that these men were KIA in his letters also. I would love to send both families of the men a copy or the original of their memorial service held in Chui Lai. God Bless and Semper Fi. My email is [email protected]

Second Lieutenant Maxim Charles Parker, Served with Marine Fighter Attack Squadron 314 (VMFA-314), Marine Aircraft Group 13 (MAG-13), 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

And I knew both of them. On that fatal date, I was serving as a pilot in
VMFA-314 and both knew and had flown with both of them. Fair winds and following seas to all of the VMFA-314, Black Knights, who paid the ultimate price for our country. We also lost my closest friend within a period of days. Capt Robert Beale, USMC, served as a pilot with the VMFA-214, Black Sheep. They flew A-4, Skyhawk, aircraft from the East field at Chu Lai. It was a bad week. Blessings.

Sempre Fidelis,

My father, Major David Morrill, was the pilot of Lt. Parker's aircraft on the day they both were killed. They died supporting their fellow Marines on the ground that day. I have been searching for a photo of Lt. Parker to post for several years, as his Wall Page, did not have one. Glad to see someone posted his photo, Rest in Peace Sir, you are not forgotten!
