THE WALL OF FACES

I'm 83, but I check at least once a year on Veteran's Day to see if any news regarding Michael, sadly as of 2023 there is no news. Hope springs eternal...

I had a POW bracelet and wondered what happened to it Rosalie. Sounds like many did, so if not found in Westchester County NY probably not mine

I flew with Mike many times when we were in VAH-123 on staff. I was on the USS Constellation with him, but not in VA-196. The day before he went down, 19 December 1968, I happened to to see him on the flight deck in front of the island right after I had landed. He was suited up as standby for the next launch cycle. We talked for a few minutes, small talk, said "see you later" and I went down to debrief. The next morning I found out he had gone down. He is always the first person I think about on memorial day and veteran's day. His smiling face when I last saw him is etched in my memory.

I don’t remember where I found it, but I have a bracelet with his name . Did someone lose it ?

Never forget.
