01 Aug 2000 Francis Egan, You were my buddy in grade school. We were in that war together, we just never knew it. You were a class act in grade school. I'm sure you were to your comrades as well. I'm looking at a picture of you in the eighth grade... I'm sure I'll see you that way again. Steven Grzesik F Co., 75th Rangers dogashark@yahoo.com

A Note from The Virtual Wall On 19 Dec 1972 an OV-10A from the 20th TASS was hit by an SA-7 handheld antiaircraft missile while conducting a FAC mission near Quang Tri City. Although the pilot, Captain Francis X. Egan, was killed the observer survived the crash, evaded capture, and was eventually rescued. Captain Egan's body was later recovered by a ground team.

The point-of-contact for this memorial is a school friend, Steven Grzesik dogashark@yahoo.com 01 Aug 2000
