In reply to the discussion: 40 years ago today, my life changed forever. [View all]Freedomofspeech
(4,223 posts)49. I was 15 when my brother was killed in a plane crash on his way to Vietnam.
My life was forever changed....I still cry about him. My boys never knew their funny, crazy handsome Uncle Joe. 80 young men were killed that day when the plane went down at Clark Air Force base. None of their names appear on the Vietnam Wall because they never made it Vietnam.
