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.

MGEN Robert F. Worley was vice commander of the 7th Air Force, Pacific Air Forces. In the summer of 1968, he was scheduled to leave to become the head of Operations for the Pacific Air Force. It was reported that MGEN Worley desired another cluster on his Air Medal (one of eight medals he already had) and volunteered for an out of country mission to get double credit for the medal. On July 23, 1968, MGEN Worley was piloting an RF-4C Phantom jet aircraft on a photo-reconnaissance mission approximately 65 miles northwest of Da Nang Air Base, RVN, when the aircraft was hit by groundfire and crashed. His body was found in the wreckage of the plane which went down on a beach in Quang Tri Province. His backseater ejected safely and was rescued.

Dear MGEN Robert Franklin Worley, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter
