February 9, 1943 – April 15, 1969
15 April 1969 (Korean time) marked the final flight of a Navy VQ-1 EC-121/WV-2 callsign Deep Sea 129. Roughly 100 nm off the North Korean peninsula site where the Hermit Kingdom today defies the world with its ballistic missile tests, lies the watery grave of 31 Americans (2 bodies were later recovered):
Burial: National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, Honolulu Hawaii
Plot: MA23-G

April 15th is a day in history remembered by those of us who were CTs in northern Asia in 1969. The world has moved on from this memory. We have not.

Think of you guys often. I flew with some of you at DaNang, including LCDR Overstreet, in 1967. Steve Tesmer was a friend of mine.
