More detail on this person: Thank you so much for maintaining this excellent web site. My father was extremely proud of his service in Vietnam and missed flying every day. At his memorial in 1994, we not only read his favorite poem High Flight, by Pilot Officer Gillespie Magee, but my brother, who has a career serving in the Army, was able to arrange for a couple of Hueys to fly over the cemetery during the internment. It was a very sublime and beautiful moment, and I know my father would have loved it. Your work is important and my entire family truly thanks you from the bottom of our hearts.
