Howard David Stephenson from Boston, Massachusetts, Suffolk county.
Service era: Vietnam
Date of death: March 29, 1972
Death details: On June 9, 2008, the Joint POW/MIA Accounting Command (JPAC, now DPAA) identified the remains of Lieutenant Colonel Howard David Stephenson, missing from the Vietnam War.
Lieutenant Colonel Stephenson entered the U.S. Air Force from Massachusetts and was a member of the 16th Special Operations Squadron. On March 29, 1972, he was a crew member aboard an AC-130A gunship (tail number 55-0044, nicknamed “Prometheus”) that took off from Ubon Airfield, Thailand, on a night reconnaissance mission to targets east of Savannakhet in southern Laos. The aircraft was shot down by enemy surface-to-air missiles, killing Lt Col Stephenson and the other crew members. Search and rescue efforts were curtailed due to heavy enemy activity, and no remains could be recovered at that time. Between 1986 and 2006, a joint U.S./Laotian team excavated the crash site in Savannakhet Province and recovered human remains and artifacts. Modern forensic techniques were eventually able to identify Lt Col Stephenson among the remains recovered.
