THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

1LT Terance Bozarth, You are remembered. O-1F pilot over Hue.

You will never be forgotten. We miss you still. This country is a little safer for the soldiers watching over us from above.

1LT Terance M. Bozarth was a fixed-wing pilot serving with the 220th Aviation Company (Reconnaissance). On January 22, 1968, 1LT Bozarth was the pilot of a Cessna 0-1F Bird Dog accompanied by a Marine artillery spotter and flying in support of 1st Battalion, 5th Marines in heavy contact with North Vietnamese Army regulars at the Hue Citadel. Bozarth’s aircraft was constantly fired on by anti-aircraft (AA) weapons during the mission, but he stayed on station marking targets for fixed-wing air strikes. The weather was bad and worsened, forcing Bozarth to fly lower and lower and risk the AA fire. He continued to mark targets until hit by AA fire. His plane crashed and he was killed. His air observer was badly burned but survived. Bozarth’s remains were recovered. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]
