In Loving Memory of ... 1LT. James Richard Bohlig.
*** On August 19, 1969, he was the pilot of a McDonnell Douglas Phanton II Fighter (F-4B) on a night mission over Quang Tri Province, South Vietnam, when his aircraft crashed. His remains were not recovered. His name is inscribed on the Courts of the Missing at the Honolulu Memorial.
You may be gone, no longer living on this earth; but you will live on - in the memories of your family and friends. There will always be a part of you living in me, your brother, sisters and those who knew you and loved you. You will live on because we remember you!
JAMES RICHARD BOHLIG - Marine Corps - 1LT - O2
Age: 26
Race: Caucasian
Date of Birth Jul 10, 1943 - Born Albany,CA
Event Place: Alameda, California, United States
From: CROCKETT, CA
Religion: ROMAN CATHOLIC
Marital Status: Married - Lenore Mae/May Coates Bohlig, She never married (Married Sept. 4, 1965 in Yolo,Cal.), Born May 19, 1944. Daughter, Colleen Mary Bohlig and Son, Brian Richard Bohlig. Parents: Father, Charles John Bohlig, Charles (Chuck) John Bohlig was born on a cold Fresno, Montana morning on Nov. 24th in 1914 and Died March 13, 2009 in San Francisco, CA and Mother, Bettie Mae Bell Bohlig, Died Dec. 17, 2008.
*** Son, Brian Bohlig of San Francisco,CA.
My father's name is James Richard Bohlig. He was an F-4 pilot in the Marine Corps during the Vietnam war. His plane went missing on August 19, 1969 and was never found.
At the time, my sister was almost 2 years old, I was 10 months and my mother was 25 years old--she never remarried.
Even though I had plenty of family support throughout my life, I always felt different being the son of someone who was "missing" from the Vietnam war. Try explaining that one on "What does your father do?" day at school.
It was not until I was a senior in college that I began to ask more questions about my father and talk more openly about him with others. Three years ago, I traveled to Vietnam to visit Chu Lai where he was stationed during the war. Hearing Tracy's story and talking to others over the years I am struck about how similar the emotions are ..the silence..the feelings of Isolation. loneliness ...guilt.
At this point in my life, I feel like I have come full circle on it all. I can't say I have closure...frankly don't think that is really possible for me...but I have learned to find strength in my father's death. It has certainly left its mark on me, but I am also thankful for learning at a young age what is truly important in life and for being given such a simple appreciation for just living.
