Lest We Forget, Our Heroes
On February 5, 1968, 1st, Lt., William T. Potter and 1st, Lt., Robert J. Edgar, were crew members, aboard, an RF-4C, reconnaissance aircraft. Robert Edgar, was the navigator, of the RF-4C, aircraft, which departed, Udorn Airfield, Thailand, on a photo, reconnaissance mission, over Laos. Upon arrival, in the area, which was under control, of the North Vietnamese, the pilot, William Potter contacted, a controller for a specific, target assignment. After being advised, on weather and terrain, the pilot notified the controller, that they were, under the clouds and had located, the target. He advised, that he would position, for photos and depart, to the NorthWest. While orbitting in the area, the controller saw, an explosion and immediate attempts, to contact the RF-4C, brought no response. The aircraft crashed, on Phakap mountain, four, kilometers south, of Bau Phanup and about 2.5, kilometers east, of Napank Village, Khammouan, Province, Laos. Search and Rescue forces, saw no parachutes, nor heard, any electronic, beacon signals. Resistance fighters, in the area gave reports, of investigating the crash site, only to find the aircraft, had burned and the skeletal remains, of the pilot, were still inside. Robert Edgar's, missing status was changed, at a presumptive, finding, of death hearing, to Dead/Body, Not Recovered. On May 28, 1987, The Joint Casualty, Resolution Center passed, on to Mrs. Edgar, information, that was received, from a former RLA., Sergeant and then Resistance, Fighter refugee, who had departed, Laos, in 1976, that seemingly confirmed, the crash and burn, of the RF-4C, on the mountain and the finding, of the pilot's, skeletal remains, still inside. What happened, to Robert. J. Edgar, remains a mystery.

As part of a class assignment, on Vietnam's MIA's., I learned, your story and shared it, with my classmates. I learned, of your sacrifice and will remember you. I respect all military services, from the Marines, to the Airforce. One, of my uncles was, in Desert Storm and he tells me, so much, how war is and i respect you, because you had, so much bravery, to be able to go, to war and fight, for this country. I myself, have joined, the Marines and I'am very anxious, to go, to bootcamp. I was going to join, the Airforce, but my grades weren't going, to be up, to the standards, for the Airforce. I respect you and what, you have done, for this country. Thank you and you will never, be forgotten.
