Franklin Stephen Dykstra Jr. Military Branch: United States Army Additional Military Info: Vietnam Ride Captain: John "Ghostrider" Blase; (972) 467-7527; blase02 at sbcglobal.net Mission: My name is Adrain Dykstra Hurst and I am the only child of Franklin Stephen Dykstra, Jr. and I was advised that your group could honor in a way that only a fellow biker would understand. I was born biker as my joined the Bandidos while in Vietnam and he retired in 1974 from the MC as he did not like "all the rules". LOL. He did have a few friends from those days, but the numbers are few. He did not want "Bandido honors", however I feel the Patriot Guard would make him smile in Heaven. He loved motorcycles and hid his first bike from his parents at age 14. His parents signed for him to go into the military in 1963. He served from 1964 thru 1968 and was the Lead Surgical Technician in the 8th Field Hospital in Da Nang. When he passed May, 4 2009 he was rated 100% Disabled due to PTSD, as he left his mind in Vietnam. I have many great and amazing stories, but none compare to his service for our country. He will be placed in the Memorial Wall at the Veterans National Cemetery in Dallas on May 7, 2010 @ 1pm. Please advise on what I need to do to achieve such an honor as to have his brothers send him off. He would be proud and I know he will be looking to see what everyone is riding. My husband and I are Independent Riders and would love to join you, if possible. I can not thank you enough as my Dad was my hero and I never understood his persecution. I guess I grew up with the reality of what happened there and my Dad never sugar coated truth. So please do not invite Hanoi Jane Fonda, as Dad would haunt us all. I think it is fitting for him to be placed in Dallas, as that is where he was "dropped off" in 68'. May God Bless all that you do, as today I have a peace knowing he will be honored for the first time. God Bless, Adrain Dykstra Hurst PART 1: We will set and stand a flagline at DFW National Cemetery for this Vietnam hero Mission Date: 05/07/2010 Staging Time: 12:30 PM Briefing Time: 12:40 PM In Position Time Or KSU: 12:50 PM Details Of Part 1: After the riders briefing we will stand tall and silent for this Vietnam veteran.

Ride Captain: Roy "Rapid" Trimble; (817) 975-4436; RRacer65 at aol.com Mission: Stand Tall and Silent for this True American Hero. Obituary: Roger Henry Herman(1931 - 2010) Roger Henry Herman, a retired lieutenant colonel of the United States Air Force, died Tuesday, May 18, 2010. Service: Mass of Christian Burial will be at 1 p.m. Wednesday, May 26, at St. Andrew Catholic Church. The Rev. Tom Stabile will officiate. Interment: 11 a.m. Thursday, May 27, in Dallas-Fort Worth National Cemetery.

Roger Herman was born in Tucson, Ariz., on May 21, 1931. Roger's love of airplanes developed at an early age and was further fostered at age 15 by Joe Detwiler, a Korean War veteran and pilot, who upon returning to Tucson at the end of the war, organized a Senior Scout-Air Squadron, which afforded Roger the opportunity to take flight. Roger soloed at 16 and received his private pilot's license at 17, a year before he received his driver's license. After graduating from Amphitheater High School in 1949, he enlisted in the Air Force in 1950 at the start of the Korean War. Roger entered pilot training in 1952 as an aviation cadet and was assigned to class 53G at Hondo Air Force Base in October of that year. He was assigned to Foster AFB in Victoria for jet training where he received his commission in November 1953. In 1954 he was assigned to Perrin AFB, Texas, for F-86D training with the Air Defense Command. He was subsequently selected for assignment to Kimpo Air Base in Korea and then later transferred to Misawa Air Base, Japan. Upon returning to the United States, he flew RF-84K aircraft at Larson AFB, Moses Lake, Wash. In 1956, after undergoing a very selective screening program with the Strategic Air Command, Roger was chosen for the new U-2 program. He was assigned to Laughlin AFB in Del Rio, reporting on June 15, 1957, and was upgraded to full combat ready status in January 1958. The mission of the squadron was high-alti! tude sam pling conducted by agencies of the Atomic Energy Commission, checking radioactivity from low to very high altitudes (40,000 to 67,000 feet) from the Arctic to Antarctic Circle. These missions generally required 90-day temporary duty at U.S. and foreign bases. While serving in Argentina, he was awarded Argentine air force wings. In March 1957, two years after receiving a "Dear John" letter from the love of his life, Monica Shea, the young aviator re-established communication with his Irish sweetheart. A spring and summer courtship ensued, involving hours of telephone calls from a stifling outdoor phone booth and trips from Del Rio to Buffalo, N.Y., culminating in a proposal on Labor Day 1957. Thankfully Monica accepted, and after a snowy December wedding in Buffalo, they began their 52-year-long adventure with a long drive to Del Rio. During the next five years, their family increased to six with the addition of Eileen in 1959, Robert in 1960, Susan in 1962 and Mary in 1963. In October 1962, during the 13-day Cuban Missile Crisis, Roger was one of 11 Air Force pilots who performed the U-2 over-flights of Cuba. For these missions he received the Distinguished Flying Cross. In March 1964, he flew the first U-2 into Vietnam. Later that year, he accepted a position in U-2 Operations at SAC Headquarters in Omaha, Neb., shortly becoming director of U-2 Operations in the Recon Center Special Operations Division. While at SAC Headquarters, Roger earned a degree in business administration from Bellevue University, located in a suburb of Omaha, Neb. In 1968 Roger was selected for detached service with the CIA, working in Taiwan with the Republic of China Air Force in their U-2 Program. During this three-year assignment, he was officially awarded Chinese Air Force Wings by the chief of staff of the Chinese Air Force. Just prior to his departure from Taiwan in 1972, Roger was diagnosed with myasthenia gravis, a debilitating muscular disease which grounded him from flying and ended his Air Force career of 25! years i n 1975. Fortunately, several years later, his neurologist treated his condition with a newly developed medical regimen which allowed him to regain his pilot's license. After several years of corporate flying, Roger spent 8 1/2 years as a simulator instructor with Southwest Airlines, where he also earned a Boeing 737 Type-Rating Certificate. He retired from Southwest Airlines in 1996. After a long, brave battle with his recurring disease, Roger was reunited with the Lord three days before his 79th birthday. He was preceded in death by his parents, Pauline and Henry Herman; his brother, Donald Herman; and sisters, Lorene Newman and Sharon Vanderslice. Survivors: His wife of 52 years, Monica; children, Eileen Friou, Robert Herman and wife, Kathryn, Susan Dougherty and husband, Don, and Mary Schwab and husband, Jeff; grandchildren, Katie Legg and husband, Brian, Megan and Laura Herman, Elizabeth Pizzurro and husband, Brandon, Roger McGrew, David and Michael Dougherty, Jacob and Pauline Schwab; sisters, Marcine Keane and Mary Helen Jenkins.

Funerals are being staged at the Administration building and in the area by the lake. We will park facing up the hill toward shelter A with 2 bikes side by side as close to the curb and each other as possible so that traffic can get by. This arrangement keeps the motorcycle and voice noise to a minimum around the shelters during the services and appears to meet the needs of the cemetery. We will assemble in this area and not around the shelters until it is time to move to the shelter to set up for the service. Exceptions to this parking arrangement are, as always, made for those who have difficulty walking. The front entrance to DFW Cemetery is now open. Enter at 2000 Mountain Creek Pkwy. The shelter assignment board has been relocated to there.
