“I was shot down in an F-4E Dec. 2, 1970 over Laos while flying out of DaNang, V.N. with the 421 T.F. S. I would like to thank your company from the bottom of my heart, for that ejection seat that saved my life. I’ve heard there is a wall of names of people saved by your seat. I would like to know if I’m on that wall and especially, what number I was. The informative letter I received recently about your company said to date, there are 7419 people on that wall. The day I was shot down was my 29th birthday. I’m now almost 72…thanks to you.”
