Last Colorado Air Guard MIA Laid to Rest in Arlington Cemetery
By Tech. Sgt. Mike R. Smith, USAF
Special to American Forces Press Service
April 4, 2008 - The remains of Colorado Air National Guard Maj. Perry H. Jefferson, who vanished during an observation flight 39 years ago over the jungles of South Vietnam, were at last laid to rest yesterday at Arlington National Cemetery. Three days of events here were a high-profile attempt to put closure to a missing-in-action mystery, but what exactly happened to the intelligence officer and his Army Reserve pilot, then-1st Lt. Arthur Ecklund, during their fateful observation flight may never be known.
A closed-casket viewing was held at a funeral home here April 1. Families, fellow servicemembers, veterans and friends to both men attended full-honors funerals April 2 and 3, which started at the Old Post Chapel on Fort Myer, Va., followed by platoon, band and caisson escorts to their gravesites on the nation's most sacred property.
Ecklund was interred at Arlington on April 2; he was previously interred in Knoxville, Ill., by his family in 2004. The Reservist attended Arizona State University and was drafted in 1966. He attended helicopter and fixed-wing aircraft training prior to his combat deployment.
More than 150 people attended Jefferson's services here, including nearly 100 from Colorado who watched the state's reported last Guard Vietnam MIA put to rest.
Jefferson was an intelligence officer at Colorado's 120th Tactical Fighter Squadron, which flew the F-100C Super Saber. He received his bachelor's degree from Southern Methodist College and worked for Aramco in the Middle East before joining the Air Guard. His wife, Sylvia, died in 1992.
Jefferson and 375 other Colorado Air Guard members deployed to Phan Rang, Vietnam, in April 1968. They were the first Air Guard fighter squadron assigned to active duty in Vietnam.
For retired Col. Don Neary, an F-100 pilot who served with Jefferson, thinking of his friend still brought up a mix of tears and happy memories of home at Buckley Air Force Base, Colo., and deployed to Vietnam.
Neary said Jefferson didn't need to fly on visual reconnaissance missions from Phan Rang.
"I think what his motivation was he probably wanted to be a pilot, ... but also the aircraft was our forward air control airplane," Neary said. "I think it gave him an appreciation for us, and he went out to get that experience for when he would come in and brief us in the morning."
On April 3, 1969, 37-year-old Jefferson was flying aboard an O-1 Bird Dog observation aircraft piloted by 24-year-old Ecklund. They never returned to their base.
Defense officials said a three-day search found no evidence of a crash, and hostile forces in the area prevented other searches. Both men were listed as MIA.
"We were within a month of coming home," said Maj. Gen. John L. France in "Colorado Pride," a Colorado Air Guard history book.
France was the unit's operations officer in Vietnam and later served as Colorado's adjutant general. In the book, he shares the moments leading up to Jefferson's disappearance.
"Clyde Seiler and Don Neary were on (an F-100) mission together; Clyde got shot down and went into the jungle, ... (and with) no parachute, he didn't get out. ... Then, we lost Perry Jefferson a few days after Clyde. It was a rough time," France said.
The unit returned home in April 1969, and the Air Guard members who served at Phan Rang were immortalized later in the National Guard Heritage Series painting "Scramble at Phan Rang."
Across the nation, 22,745 Army and Air Guardsmen mobilized during the Vietnam War. More than 9,000 deployed to Vietnam.
Jefferson's and Ecklund's case remained unsolved, and there were even rumors of them being seen after the fateful flight.
After defense officials received human remains in 1984 from a suspected military crash, eyewitnesses were interviewed. One witness said the aircraft crashed on a mountainside, and that the pilots died and were buried there. An excavation led by the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command uncovered the aircraft's wreckage, but no human remains were found at the crash site.
In 2000, the remains turned over in 1984 were identified as Ecklund's.
Defense officials said Jefferson's remains were not identified until 2007, after a Vietnamese national living in California turned them in.
The day before Jefferson's interment ceremony, visiting Colorado Guard members walked among blossoming cherry trees to the Vietnam War Memorial to lay a wreath. They also located Jefferson's name on the dark granite and took a rubbing for their military museum.
"Perry was everybody's friend. ... He took off on a normal observation run and never returned. He just vanished," France said.
The Defense POW/Missing Personnel Office's Web site states "efforts continue to recover nearly 1,800 Americans who remain unaccounted for from Vietnam."

America Supports You: Walter Reed Troops Get Some Comic Relief
By Samantha L. Quigley
American Forces Press Service
April 4, 2008 - It was all a big joke for servicemembers and their families at Walter Reed Army Medical Center's Fisher House yesterday when comedian Kathy Griffin came to visit. With camera crew in tow, Griffin, star of Bravo cable network's "Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D List," spent the morning touring the installation's two Fisher House facilities and joking with the residents.
"I had to get a pass to come out here so I could see Kathy Griffin," said Army Cpl. Nicholas Joseph McCauley. "I heard about her; she seemed cool, and my buddy ... who lost his leg in September kind of figured he'd show me around, make me smile, cheer me up a little bit."
McCauley is recovering from a head injury suffered March 23 in Iraq. Getting out of the hospital, where he'd been for two days, and verbally sparring with Griffin about his tattoos, a salty take on an Irish phrase, seemed to give McCauley the boost he needed.
"(She's) the first person I've ever met that's famous," he said. "It's pretty cool. I get to be on TV, I guess. It's not cool being on TV in a wheelchair, but I'm alive."
Army Spc. Michael Brown, a below-the-knee amputee who's living at Fisher House with his wife and 14-month-old daughter, agreed.
"It's definitely a cool thing to tell your friends about when you go home," he said. "It's definitely a morale booster for everybody that's here.
"You get so run down with appointments every day and the daily grind," Brown continued. "Something like this is good to have, a break ... (to) find out what's actually going on elsewhere."
Amanda Poppenhouse, whose husband, Army Cpl. Adam Poppenhouse, is recovering from a recent leg amputation, said celebrity visits aren't uncommon, and most of the visitors take a real interest in the families.
"We had a wrestler come (from World Wrestling Entertainment), Mankind, I think is his name," she said. "We met him like two or three times, and he recognizes us, calls us by name. He's really cool."
She said visits by stars can offer an outlet for servicemembers and their spouses to talk and tell their stories.
Servicemembers and their families soon will have a huge audience to listen to their stories thanks to Griffin, who is planning to turn her visit into an episode for her show. She discovered just how many people are interested in troops' stories when an episode of her show featured her tour to entertain troops overseas.
"Doing our silly little reality show, we got the most response we've ever gotten from the episode where I went and performed in Iraq," Griffin said. "I got lots and lots of e-mails, 'How are the guys doing?' That was an interesting insight to something.
"So often you hear about these men and women and they're just numbers ... on the news, and it's a news story that's 90 seconds and then it's on to what starlet was drunk and flashing," she quipped.
Griffin said the combination of her audience's reaction to her episode from Iraq and some stories last year about conditions at Walter Reed made her want to show her audience a bigger picture. She wants to make sure her viewers understand the facility and the people there, and Bravo agreed.
"I felt really passionately about doing an episode here," Griffin said. "What I think is important about today, what's so great about Fisher House and coming here, is it really humanizes the numbers we see on the news."
Griffin was working to carry out a secondary mission as well: to make the servicemembers and their families laugh.
"That's all I know how to do," she said. "I think everybody needs a laugh and especially at a time like this.
"I just really, really hope I can provide them a good chuckle," she said before leaving to spend her afternoon with patients in the hospital and her evening performing a stand-up comedy show.
The episode of her show featuring Walter Reed is expected to air in late summer.
The Fisher House Foundation is a supporter of America Supports You, a Defense Department program connecting citizens and companies with servicemembers and their families serving at home and abroad.
