Colonel Killian was our Commanding Officer. I have thought of him often and learned that his remains were recovered and returned home in 1985. I visited his grave in Arlington Cemetery where he lies beside his wife and 2 sons. I just want you to know that you are not forgotten.
NOTE: Then-Major Killian was shot down over North Vietnam on 30 September 1965 while flying an F-105D Thunderchief


A memorial from his comrade in arms,
