Army Lt. Quentin A. Teige, 25, of Marinette, Wisconsin was killed in action May 24, 1944. His son was six years-old at the time. Now a retired Air Force major, his son recently shared his story on his dad’s profiles on our site: “Quentin was my father, we now know that his P 38 was shot down 24 May. 1944, 2 days before my 6th birthday, near Hofstetten, Austria. The crash site was found and identified in 1949, and remains were returned home for burial in January, 1951. He had previously served in the Pacific from 1939 until 1943, until sent to Pilot training.” We will #neverforget Quentin and his family.
Army Sgt. Leroy M. Donovan of Delta County, Col. was aboard a plane shot down May 19, 1965 in Vietnam. “He only has been presumed to be dead,” his wife said a year later after the government issued the statement. “I still hope.” Leroy remains unaccounted for. We will #neverforget Leroy, his wife and five children.
Army Sgt. Thomas E Snowden, 21, of Pearl City, Hawaii was a community college student when drafted. His mother said: “He was against the war – all war. But then his time came and he accepted it as his responsibility to go.” Thomas, 21, was killed there May 15, 1971. We will #neverforget Thomas.
The mother of Lcpl. Nickolas R. Koehler, 21, of Mason City Iowa said “After having four other sons serve in the military without a scratch, I guess we just figured Nick would make it too.” Nick died May 8, 1965 in Vietnam. We will #neverforget him.
