THE WALL OF FACES

LTJG David Brostrom was cremated.

Dave was exuberant… a graduate of the Goast Guard Academy which he referred to as the ZOO. I met with the civilian photographer who was aboard his Cutter when the United States Air Forces made several gun runs on his boat and killed him. What a waste. I was a Navy Photographer and we filmed his Cutter while making a movie of the Coast Guard in Vietnam. Friendly Fire BEAUTIFUL…BEAUTIFUL

We can never truly repay the great debt we owe our fallen heroes. May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace LTJG. Brostrom, I salute your brave soul.
My heart goes out to you and your family. From a Coast Guard vet; Semper Paratus!

USCG LTJG David C. Brostrom was the son of USN CMDR and Mrs. Charles Brostrom.

He was cremated, and his ashes were committed to the Pacific Ocean, off of the Golden Gates Bridge.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Semper Paratus

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Gerry Heckler is especially poignant. May you rest in eternal peace.
