My Uncle Jim, whom I never met, flew the Douglas A1-H "Skyraider" during Vietnam. He was an Air Force pilot with the 602 Special Operations Squadron out of Nakhon Phanom (NKP), Thailand. Jim flew in Search and Rescue as well as Search and Destroy missions in "the secret war" in Laos. On such a mission on October 27th 1969, we're told his plane crashed into a mountainside...
Very cool to stumble across this page, where people are able to read about Uncle Jim and leave a remembrance.
THE WALL OF FACES - Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund
It has a similar effect to a live visit of The Wall, but with the goal of including picture to go along with every face.
You Are Never Forgotten!
