Memorial Service Quotation
September 23, 1965
Oceana Naval Air Station Chapel
Virginia Beach, Virginia

No useless coffin enclosed his breast
No sheet or shroud was around him.
But he died like a warrior taking his rest
With his martial cloak about him.

Not slowly or sadly was he laid down
In the sea that beheld his story
So we'll carve not a line of his fame little known
We'll just leave him alone with his glory.

With affection, sympathy and my blessing, Father Roland, MSSST



CDR Leonard F. Vogt and LT Robert F. Barber were lost at sea when their A-6A INTRUDER went down in the Gulf of Tonkin offshore North Vietnam. Their bodies were not recovered.
