THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. We should be forever thankful for the sacrifices of you and so many others to ensure the freedoms we so often take for granted.

Dear PO2C Darrell Tucker, Thank you for your service as a Radarman 2nd Class. 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. Rest in peace with the angels.

Never forgotten.

On the remembrance of your 74th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

The photo of Darrell on the deck of a PBR is the last we have of him. It was in his camera, undeveloped, when his belongings were returned to us. It is significant that he is writing a letter; he was a prolific communicator in the days before email and Skype. The next photo is from Boot Camp. The third is of him, home on leave, with some of his handiwork. While aboard the U.S.S. Constellation, he hand tooled this saddle and made the chaps. The fourth is from training before him tour on the PBR’s. The fifth is taken from his PBR on the rivers of Vietnam. The final picture is of his family while he was in high school. The white dinner jacket he is wearing is for a special singing group he was a part of: the C-Notes.
