27 Oct 1997 Remembering a flight school classmate Dennis and I were among a group of young men who went to boot camp together as Co. B-4-1 at Fort Polk then Army helicopter flight school at Fort Wolters and Fort Rucker. A story about our flight school class Dennis drove my 1962 Plymouth from Buffalo, New York to Fort Rucker, Alabama for me on the weekend my wife and I were married. He was a good man. Dennis Brault and others of the 174th AHC prepare a UH-1C Huey Gunship for a mission. His second tour was with the 20th ARA.

01 Oct 2003 My name is Nathan Moyer and I am a Lieutenant Commander in the US Navy. I never knew my cousin Dennis (my grandfather's brother's son), but whenever I am in Washington on business or pleasure, I make it a point - no, a mission - to visit his name on the Wall. I have heard that he has a VFW chapter in his name in Worchester, Massachusetts, which I hope to visit in the near future. It is funny, but I feel very close to my cousin that I never knew and I am extremely proud of both his service and ultimate sacrifice. If you know more of my cousin, please feel free to contact me. Thank you. Nathan J. Moyer LCDR, USN nate_moyer51@hotmail.com
