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 Maj Robert Zukowski, Thank you for your service as a Tactical Fighter-Bomber Pilot. Glad you identified in 1996. Welcome Home. Saying thank you isn't enough, but it is from the heart. Yesterday was Vietnam War Veteran Day – we remember you, and the end of 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 have the same last name and came upon Major Zukowski’s name on the traveling Vietnam Wall when it came to Connecticut and couldn’t help but wonder if we are related somewhere along the way. I served in the Navy and am proud of my last name and to see it on a wall of heroes was very humbling to me. Thank you, Major Zukowski for your service and sacrifice, Sir.

Sheila Jones this is my wifes uncle. Please contact me as I would love to help you give the MIA bracelet to the family. Thank you.

Bob Zukowski and I were assigned to the same fighter squadron, 34th Tactical Fighter Squadron at Korat AB, Thailand. Bob was aircrew and I was a crew chief, maintenace person who kept our guys flying. We had deployed to Takhli Air Base Thailand to continue flying our bombing missions when Bob was shot down and listed as MIA (Missing IN Action) until his remains were recovered and identified. Ironically, my nephew named Bill Grant, who is a forensic anthropologist and works for the government, was on a mission in Laos that found Bob's remains. RIP Bob you were a great aviator and friend.
