Lt. Col. Hobart Wallace, Jr

I never forgot your name, I was only 13 when the war ended, but I had already worn your POW-MIA bracelet for a couple of years. When the war ended, we were instructed to listen to the names of the released POW's, when your guy was released, you were to send in the bracelet to melt down into a statute. I sat by the TV day after day listening, I never heard your name, I still have your bracelet. It took me 42 years to find you. You will never know how much you meant to that young girl who was so confused by the Vietnam War. I had always hoped that I had just missed your name and that you went on to live a beautiful life. With deep regret, I can finally say R.I.P., Lt. Col. Hobart Wallace, Jr. Your name has been imbedded in my memory for most of my life.

Never Forgotten

I too wore LTC Wallace's MIA bracelet in high school. That was 40 years ago and I've never forgotten his name. While I'm sorry that he was killed in action, I'm glad to learn that he was returned to his country and his family.
Rest in peace.
