Maj. Robert A. Lodge, USAF
I have been carrying Maj. Lodge's POW/MIA bracelet since high school in 1973. I would be honored to send it to his family. I am married to a retired Marine Corps major, and have always been sensitive to and grateful for Major Lodge's sacrifice.

major robert lodge remembered
Major Robert Lodge was the son of my 6th grade teacher at Our Lady of Peace school in Lynbrook,NY. I remember the day we found out he was shot down like it was yesterday. He and his family have been in my thoughts and prayers ever since. While I cherish the freedoms we enjoy in this country, I find it difficult to explain to my kids just how good they have it compared to my generation. They were too young to appreciate the effect of Desert Storm and couldn't compare the briefness of that war to Vietnam. To all the surviving members of Maj. Lodge's family- on behalf of my family- thank you for the sacrifice which you all have made on our behalf. We will never forget you.

Never Forgotten
In 1972 I received a bracelet with Maj. Lodges's name on it. I wore it for many years, until it broke. I only learned last year about his loss. I learned also that we share the same birthday. I still have the original pieces and hope to find a family member to send them to. The memory of this brave man who I never knew has always lived in my heart, and he will always be honored by my family. My heart goes out to all whose lives were forever changed.

Bob, perhaps you are the most unsung hero of the air war. Your tactical expertise resulted in many Mig kills for the 432nd and the Nickel. When you and Roger were shot down in May I recalled dinner a couple of nights before when we were talking about life in general in the war zone. You said you could not be taken alive as you simply knew too much. When I talked to Roger after his 23 day E&E I knew that you chose to give your life rather than risk telling the gomers what you knew. I wish you guys had not pressed the target but that is what the big bucks were for. YOU should have been the top ace of the war! Rest in peace. Tally HO.

OH!. I HAVE SLIPPED THE SURLEY BONDS OF EARTH, AND DANCED THE SKIES ON LAUGHTER-SILVERED WINGS. WHERE NEVER LARK OR EAGLE EVER FLEW-AND WHILE WITH SILENT, LIFTING MIND I'VE TROD THE HIGH UNTRESSPASSED SANCTITY OF SPACE, PUT OUT MY HAND AND TOUCHED THE FACE OF GOD.
