In Loving Memory ... Captain Alexander McIver.
*** After the siege of An Loc was lifted an effort was made to recover the bodies of American and South Vietnamese servicemen missing in action during the fighting. The wreckage of C-130E tail number 62-1797 was found and the crew remains repatriated by 17 Aug 1972 - but it took nearly two years, until 12 June 1974, for the remains of the six men to be individually identified.
The Virtual Wall knows the burial place of only one of the six men... Staff Sergeant Lester Bracey is buried in Site 5832, Section 2M, of the Long Island National Cemetery.
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 your family and those who knew you and loved you. You will live on because we remember you!
