The 9th Air Commando Squadron was activated in January 1967 and renamed in 1968 as the 9th Special Operations Squadron. The squadron flew out of various locations in Vietnam including Nha Trang, Pleiku Airport, DaNang, and Bien Hoa with the primary mission of psychological operations. Squadron aircraft accomplished leaflet drops and speaker broadcasts. On 22 June 1969, Major Erich C. Engelhard and 1st Lt Michael A. Seagroves departed Nha Trang in an O-2B, directed toward a group of enemy troops some 20 miles north of Nha Trang. The aircraft was shot down in the vicinity of Ninh Hoa, but the wreckage was not immediately located and both men were classed as missing in action. In 1973, following the US withdrawal, the Secretary of the Air Force approved Presumptive Findings of Death for both Engelhard and Seagroves, changing their status from Missing in Action to Died while Missing/Body not Recovered. Both men were promoted while in MIA status, Engelhard to Colonel and Seagroves to Captain. The wreckage of their aircraft was located in 1974 and human remains recovered from the crash site. The remains were returned to US control on 01 April 1974; on 19 June 1974 the US government announced the positive identification of the remains as those of Colonel Engelhard and Captain Seagroves.

As a young teenager I wore my bracelet until the bracelet broke in half. Even though it is not in the home of the bracelet's family, the bracelet is in a home that has not forgotten the man who gave his live for me. My father also served in Vietman. I was luck he was able to return to come home alive. My father passed away in September 2002 from cancer most likely related to Agent Orange. Now the bracelet also serves as a reminder of my father's service to this great country. The bracelet has a home in my printer's tray to remind me and others that we should be proud to be American.

I have tried for several months to contact my hero's family or friends. I grew up just north of Bellbrook, Ohio where Lt.Col. Erich Engelhard made his home. In fact my relatives were neighbors of his. I would love to communicate with my hero's family if possible. He has not left my heart either.

You Have Never Been Forgotten."A hero In a child's eyes".
I was a young child saving my allowance to buy my bracelet, my older sisters boyfriend, had just been enlisted, and my other sisters friend down the street, her fiancee (got engaged when they found out he was going) was going too. Being a small child, I wanted to do something. I saved and got my bracelet, and wore it until just after I met my husband in 1977. Before we married, he asked me why I continue to wear it, and if I would take it off. I did take it off and put it in my jewerly box, but thought about it often. In 1992, I wrote to the Department of Defense and inquired about my soldier, and received a letter quite a time later.It told me the fate of my soldier. Now, my mission is to return his bracelet to a relative or family member.His bracelet has been apart of my childhood and life over 30 yrs, as a child I was very proud to pray for my soldier, and would be honored to give it to Erichs family today. Please contact me.
