What About The War What about the war Men are dying every day Why should there be war Peace is the only way What about the war No man has the right To say we go to war So why must we fight What about the war Men aren't just being shot Drugs are killing scores Yeah, needles, pills and pot What about the war Will war ever stop Only one man knows for sure God's the one on top. Ronnie Nute, A1C, USAF Written 19 Dec 1971, the day before his death in Vietnam. From a friend. E-Mail address not available 25 May 2002

 

11 Oct 2006 I have been wearing his MIA bracelet off and on since 1992. I will put it away for a time, or just take it off and forget where I put it. It always shows up some time later. I am wearing it now. E-mail address is not available.

 

Notes from The Virtual Wall At 0300 on 13 March 1966, an AC-47D gunship of the 4th Air Commando Squadron departed Danang Air Base for a mission over Quang Nam Province near the Laotian border. Shortly after departure, radio contact with the aircraft was lost. The aircraft did not recover at a friendly base ... it had simply disappeared into the night, together with its seven crewmen: Captain Howard W. Henninger, pilot; Captain Robert E. Pasekoff, co-pilot; Captain Gerald E. Olson, navigator; Sergeant Dean A. Duvall, aerial gunner; Staff Sergeant Gene E. Davis, flight mechanic; Staff Sergeant Marshall I. Pauley, aerial gunner; and Tech Sergeant Edwin E. Morgan, loadmaster. Search and rescue operations began immediately but were without success - no trace of the aircraft or its crew was found. The seven men were classed as Missing in Action. As the years passed without any information regarding their fate, the Secretary of the Air Force approved Presumptive Findings of Death - Morgan's on 09 Jan 1978. Their remains have not been repatriated.
