THE WALL OF FACES

I remember the day of your crash. I was heavy hearted. I remember that you always jumped at any chance to fly. You have gained your wings many years ago. Fly high my friend!

So glad l found you here. Thought so much of you through the years, as a neighbor and schoolmate on Albert Street. Your death always hit me hard. Whenever l am in M-town, l wave at your old house. Still thinking of you, remembering your smile. Lynne Kurdyla

Specialist Four David Donald Stover, Served with the 60th Assault Helicopter Company, 10th Aviation Battalion, 17th Aviation Group, 1st Aviation Brigade.

Dear SP4 David Donald Stover, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say 'thank you'; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter

Aircraft was flying around a mountain top in a left bank when it entered low level clouds covering the mountain top in mountainous terrain. It then returned to an almost straight flight path with a slight rate of descent, before impacting into the side of a ridge running from the mountain top. The aircraft crashed into trees in what appeared to be a level attitude with a slight rate of descent. The aircraft burned upon impact. The bodies of two ROK soldiers were recovered near the wreckage and the bodies of the four crewmembers CW2 Gregory W. Hermann (KIA), CW2 Ronald H. Wiggins (KIA), SP4 David D. Stover (KIA), and PFC Tommy J. Becker (KIA) were recovered from the burned wreckage. [Taken from vhpa.org]
