To who it may concern: April 2003 My father and mother are buried at Arlington National Cemetery. My father was Captain Charles W. Robertson and my mother was Anne C. Robertson. My father was a pilot in the USAF and was killed in action on January 9, 1967 in Vietnam. He was the pilot of "Puff the Magic Dragon." I do not know the call number his plane. I was only 3 1/2 and my brother was 23 months old when our father was killed in action. My father was ranked number one in his high school class in Maulden, Massachustts. He attended MIT for one year prior to receiving his appointment to West Point. He graduated from West Point in 1956. He received his Master's degree in electrical engineering in March of 1962 at Wright Patterson AF Base, Ohio. My father posthumously received the Purple Heart, the Distinguished Flying Cross with 2 Oak Leaf Clusters, the Air Medal with five Oak leaf Clusters, the Air Force Commendation Medal, as well as many other medals. My parents are buried together on Wilson Drive. My mother died January 28, 1981. Please add my father to your records and archives. His name is on the Vietnam Memorial Wall as well. Sincerely, Elizabeth Robertson, daughter 209 Fairfield Road Fayetteville, North Carolina 28303 http://www.arlingtoncemetery.com/cwrobertson.htm
