THE WALL OF FACES

May those who served never be forgotten. We can never truly repay the great debt we owe our fallen heroes. Rest in peace WO. Black, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

I am the Curator of the POW/MIA Bracelet Display in the Vietnam Hangar of the Palm Springs Air Museum in Palm Springs, California where we now have over two thousand bracelets and would be honored to include your bracelet in our Display. If you are an immediate family member (spouse, fiancé or child) I can order one for the Display in your name.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Jill Baillie is especially moving. I am heartened you were finally returned home where you can rest in eternal peace.

WO Paul Vernon Black is buried in Section 60, Site 7895 of the Arlington National Cemetery. He was interred November 6, 2003.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Welcome Home.

HOOAH

Your POW/MIA bracelet has remained in my possession for 38 years. I contacted your family after your so very sad funeral. Your mother, Jane Black, asked me to keep it. You are never far away from my thoughts or heart. My family and Last Will instruct that I am to be buried with your bracelet. We will meet in heaven and my grief for you will cease.
