THE WALL OF FACES

I brought a POW/MIA bracelet when I was in grammer school in the 1970's engraved with Capt Harold Zook 5-31-66. I still wear my Capt. Zook bracelet every Memorial Day and Veteran's Day to remember his sacrifice. I show his bracelet to others to remind people to remember the service men and women who have made the supreme sacrifice, to give us our freedoms. I was happy to read that his remains were found and returned. May he rest in peace, God Bless America.

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 LTC Harold Zook, Thank you for your service as a Multi-Purpose Propeller Aircraft Pilot. Glad you were identified in 1986. Welcome Home. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. It is spring and Lent. Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage, guidance, and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.

I will never forget meeting your parents at the Colonial Park Mall in Harrisburg back after Harold was declared MIA. They were there to bring awareness to the whole POW-MIA situation. They talked about their son, and his voluntary Vietnam missions, and how he was shot down behind enemy lines etc. They were such nice, down to earth people who clearly loved their son, and were very proud of him . They gave me a picture of him and signed it. I treasured it !

My husband and I visited Lancaster Pa in the summer of 2018. We drove to New Holland and visited the cemetery where you are buried beside your parents.
Your mom and I wrote letters back on the 70’s. I still have your bracelet and I think of you often and on Memorial Day I will think of you you and your sacrifice for the freedom of this country.
