Here we post to the fallen heroes who have given their lives, their sacred honor for their country. In their memories, we testify to the greatest sacrifice one can make for a grateful Nation.

Well, I would like to honor my cousin. Killed in Vietnam in 1969.

To all the fallen in all the wars, thank you.

JAMES MARTIN BRINKMAN III


CAPT - O3 - Air Force - Regular

Length of service 4 years
His tour began on Sep 17, 1967
Casualty was on Apr 1, 1968
In BINH DUONG, SOUTH VIETNAM
HOSTILE, FIXED WING - PILOT
AIR LOSS, CRASH ON LAND
Body was recovered

This is the information from The Wall. The other information is that he was an AF Academy Grad, with graduate study at MIT and wanted to qualify for the astronaut program. Instead, he was shot down by AK-47 ground fire. He was a super guy to all of us lowly enlisted folks and would pull up a chair, pop a beer and chat like old buddies.

Not forgotten.
