Dennis Clarke Cressey, age 25, from Loveland, Colorado, Larimer County.
Parents: William Cressey
Service era: Vietnam
Schools: Loveland High (1964), Colorado State University (1969)
Date of death: Friday, May 12, 1972
Death details: On June 26, 1975, the Central Identification Laboratory–Thailand (CILT, now DPAA) identified the remains of Captain Dennis Clarke Cressey, missing from the Vietnam War.
Captain Cressey entered the U.S. Air Force from Wyoming and served with the 390th Tactical Fighter Squadron, 366th Tactical Fighter Wing. On May 12, 1972, he was a weapons system officer aboard an F-4E Phantom II (tail number unknown) that took off from Da Nang Air Base on a forward air control mission over Quang Tri Province, South Vietnam. The aircraft crashed for unknown reasons and Capt Cressey did not survive the incident. Aerial searches failed to locate the crash site, and his body was not recovered at the time. In 1974, a U.S. search team located the crash site and recovered human remains that U.S. analysts eventually identified as those of Capt Cressey.
