I'm a student from RAHS and in my Modern US History class, we have a project in which we must research a soldier that died during the Vietnam War. I chose Lance Sijan and I am astounded by his courage and bravery. He truly died trying to defend our country, and may he rest in peace.

Dear Lance, of your story I know that it was said of how you desperately evaded capture in Vietnam, broke out of prison, and many other heroic acts.
I have been a season ticket holder of Air Force football on and off for many years. The announcer(a chosen cadet), before the stunning jet fly over, would list some of the great achievements of past Academy graduates Lance P Sijan and the Medal of Honor were always the last statement made. They no longer make that announcement listing achievements or mentioning your name, but when I attend games, I still look for your plaque among all the other plaques in the sectional walkway. You still deserve the acclaim!

In my Modern US History class, we have been learning about the Vietnam War and how it was a living hell for soldiers. When I researched Cpt. Sijan I had been amazed by his story. I believe I can speak for everyone when I say that you sir are an American hero and an inspiration for us all.
With highest regards and utmost respect, Dylan McBee.

I feel honored to have served in the same United States Air Force as Capt. Lance Sijan. I have read the book about his shootdown and capture 'Into the Eye of the Tiger' and have been an admirer for many years. May this hero rest in peace.

I wore your POW/MIA bracelet for over 10 years.
I feel truly honored to have worn the bracelet with your name. I still have it and would love to return it to someone in your family or donate it to a memorial. You are still in my thoughts.

A student
Hello I'm a student at Reedsburg Area High School and we are doing a project on a Vietnam Vet. After research I took one on the list and I was lucky enough to find Captain Sijan. I found his story to be aspiring. It gives people strength. I'm sorry for your lost. Thank you Captain Sijan for serving for our nation.

I am a high school student in Wisconsin and I selected Captain Sijan for a project we are doing. We are writing a paper on servicemen that were killed while serving in Vietnam. The story of Captain Sijan’s fight to survive in Vietnam is one of Bravery, Valor, and Heroism. It is a true inspiration to future servicemen and women. I am planning on joining the Air Force when I get out of high school and his story made me sure of it. I am extremely grateful for what Captain Sijan did to uphold the freedom in this country. I am sorry for your loss. With Respect Mikel Seidl

A true hero
Lance Peter Sijan is a true hero. Most people would have caved in to the pain of torture,however it takes real heart to go fight to win. Instead of going not to lose. It would have been an honor to know him.
