Shakey, I understand your anger and frustration about this, but I have no control over our units history, per say. This is my personal website for all us Gladiators and has no affiliation with the "official" Gladiator site.

FYI: On this site I do have Wade Ellen listed as KIA (on the online Roster). I also have him listed as Body Not Returned ... is this correct ?

There is also info posted on the listing for 69-15715 (on this site) which was all obtained from info provide by the VHPA. If you wish include your story with this listing, write up something and I will add it.

I still have that shit burner patch ... thanks Very Happy

Cool Thought i would try you guy's out I have been bitching on Deaf ear's over at the original Gladiator website! to no-avail! Yes WO-1 Wade Ellen is still carried as K.I.A.-B.N.R. even though in 1993 i made the Defense Intelagence along with the J.c.r.g. due a dig they found human remain's with O.D green wool sock's but his mother refused to accept them as his? we burried SP/4 Zollicoffer in same grave but with NO-Sock's My A.C. !st Lt. Jame's Hunsicker is K.I.A.-B.N.R. one of our Pax's a !st Lt. Johnny Mac Jone's a fellow 57th Gladiator died same day same crash & i cant get the Gladiator website to add him to the memorial page either! he also was K.I.A.-B.N.R. I have bitched untill I am Blue in the face trying to straighten out our History it reflect's Pourley on Gladiator's as a whole!***** Shakey still Missing in America! Thank's Robert! & your Welcome for the patch! Buddy!

Ricky: I was with the Cougars in 1972. Wade Ellen was my stick buddy in flight school.

I never knew what happened to him, other than he was killed, or where the aircraft was, other than somewhere near Dak To 2.

I would have talked to you then, but those were some busy days for the 57th.
