May we never forget the sacrifice of the men and women who served in the Vietnam War. They fought and died for their country's honor. May God bless all of them, living and deceased, wherever they are ...

I wore John Hosken's bracelet in high school faithfully... I am now 52, a grandmother, and found the bracelet still kept safe in my drawer. I am also in ministry as a Chaplain for Prison ministry. I have now found out he was a hero as they all were for our USA and not recognized. God bless him ... and his family. I see he passed on in 1978, the year my son was born. I wish I could of met him.

From The Virtual Wall:
WO Hosken's date of death given above - 28 Aug 1978 - is the date he was legally declared dead. Since his remains were recovered from the helo wreckage in 1995, it is clear the actual date of death was 24 Mar 1970.
