THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died just six days before your 25th birthday is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

Dear PO2C James Tritt, Thank you for your service as a Machinist's Mate 2nd Class in the USS BON HOMME RICHARD. You are still MIA. Please come home. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is Agent Orange Awareness Month. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it still needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Be at peace.

On the remembrance of your 79th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

POW-MIA...Never Forget

Semper Fortis

Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. You gave everything you had to give. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

On July 7, 1967, MM2 James F. Tritt was a crewmember aboard the USS Bon Homme Richard operating in the Gulf of Tonkin. He was last seen on the fantail by other crew members. At 1000 hours the following day his absence was definitely established. An extensive search was conducted but failed to find any signs of MM2 Tritt. [Taken from coffeltdatabase.org]
