- "When I was in Vietnam, I saw my best friend shot down. I know he survived, I saw his `chute open, radioed his position. But I never found out what happened to him. His body was never recovered, the Vietnamese never admitted they took him prisoner. For years, I kept thinking, that some day he's just going to walk through the door."
- ―Lt. General George S. Hammond[src]

His plane was shot down by the Viet Cong. While he managed to bail out, his parachute failed. His wingman, Lt. George Hammond, was unsuccessful in his attempt to rescue him.
