Remembering...
Your mother, Velma, taught school at Allen Grade School in La Moille, Illinois. I was a student there, 10 years old in June of 1967. I only recall that my parents mentioned that Mrs. Swanson's son had been shot down over Vietnam. I finally found mention of you here and on the Memorial Wall. You and other Vietnam Veterans are not forgotten.

Rembering you I found your Mia bracelet today
I recieved your bracelet some 50 year’s ago as a young I treasured it and hoped and prayed I would some day hear you had been found as the years passed and I grew up married and moved on with my life I forge about the braclet but always kept it. Well today while packing to move it appeared and I had the chance to see if you came home. I’m so sorry for your family and friends and all the other others that held your braclet.
