THE WALL OF FACES

If I should die, and leave you here awhile, be not like others, sore undone, who keep long vigils by the silent dust, and weep...for MY sake, turn again to life, and smile...Nerving thy heart, and trembling hand to do something to comfort other heart6s than thine...Complete these dear, unfinished tasks of mine...and I, perchance, may therei9n comfort you.

Dear Lt Donald Bruch,
Thank you for your service as a Tactical Aircraft Pilot (Various.) It is important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Condolences to the family and friends.

I just wanted to share a story:
A few years ago when my grandfather passed away I found the attached Vietnamese art in his apartment accompanied by a ring. We are Hungarians and he used to work in trade and he received it from the Vietnamese government. One time he told me the story that they made these from the planes and recently I realized there are some writing on the ring.

1966.4.29 F105-D

Based on that I am afraid this is from Donald's plane. Obviously if the family wants I am happy to send this to them to help them find closure.

Best wishes,
Marton
