Ever since I had my red memorial bracelet for an MIA serviceman I had wanted to build his aircraft, an F-4C Phantom.
I had upgraded my red bracelet and the name is slowly wearing off.
Col. Peter Joseph Stewart was report as being a POW for 25 years. His remains have since been returned home as of 2022. After 56 years he is finally laid to rest, respectfully.
"On March 15, 1966, Stewart was the pilot of a two-seater F-4C aircraft. It was the second in a flight of two on an armed reconnaissance mission over northern Vietnam. The lead aircraft spotted two vehicles as the flight approached the target area and Stewart responded he was going to strafe the trucks. The lead aircraft, while maneuvering to engage the targets, lost sight of Stewart's aircraft, but saw a bright orange explosion over the trucks. Attempts to contact Stewart's aircraft were unsuccessful. He and the flight commander, Martin Scott, were declared missing in action."
I have found a Phantom that I will use to commemorate Col. Stewart and Commander Scott.
