Two, American Heros
On March 27, 1968, Captain, Richard L. Whitteker and 2nd, Lieutenant, James L. Badley, both, of the 480th, Tactical, Fighter Squadron, departed, Danang, Air Base, on a strike mission, into North Vietnam. Jim Badley, did not return, from his 85th, mission - their F-4D, PHANTOM, went down, in North Vietnam. Although, both men, were initially listed, as Missing in Action, an Air Force, review board, determined, that the circumstances, of their loss were such, that survival, was not possible and recommended, that their status, be changed. The recommendation, was approved, in May, 1968 and their status, was changed, to "Hostile Loss/Died, while Missing/Body, not Recovered." Jim Badley, was graduated, from Oregon, State University, with the Class, of 1965 and was commissioned, as a Second, Lieutenant, in the U. S., Air Force, Reserve. He began, flight training, at Williams, AFB., received his wings, in October, 1966 and received, F-4, training, at Davis-Monthan, AFB., before reporting, to the 480th, TFS., at Danang, in September, 1967. Badley, was shot down, on his 25th, mission, on Nov., 20, 1967, but was rescued. His actions, while, on the ground, during the rescue, operation, warranted, the award, of the Silver Star. On Mar., 14, 1968, he assisted, in providing RESCAP., support, during a successful effort, to pick up, two, downed aviators; he was awarded, the Distinguished, Flying Cross and the Air Force, Commendation Medal, for his efforts. As noted above, Jim Badley's remains, have not been repatriated - but a memorial stone, to him, was placed, in the Willamette, National Cemetery, (Portland, Oregon) on May 23, 1969. His father, Burton E. Badley, LTC., USAF., (Ret.) was buried there, as well, on Dec., 7, 1979.

I want you to know, how much my family and I, appreciate your sacrifice. Because of you and men and women, like you, our country is free. We have always, been proud Americans, never disrespecting, the decision our government officials make, in sending our loved ones, over, to a foreign country, in order to assist, those persecuted, by other more powerful forces. I wanted you, to know, how much you are still loved, by this country and especially, your family. May God bless your loved ones, still here with us, may they know, of his eternal love and mercy. Thank you and your family, for making this the United States, of America, a nation, we can be proud, to call home. We salute you! Rest easy, my brothers and sisters, you were never forgotten, by our family. We cherish, the love you showed, your country, your family and your fellow comrades. Until we all, meet again, love forever and always! Rest easy.
