The Four Rivers Cultural Center in Ontario, Oregon, also features the town's Veteran Memorial Park.
All of the Echanis Family members who have served the Nation have bricks on the walkway.
Major Joseph Y. Echanis (
http://taskforceomegainc.org/e002.html). He was listed as MIA at the time.
He was Mike's cousin.
It was for this reason Echanis enlisted as swiftly as he legally could with the expressed intent (of a 19-year old who grew up in a Basque family in eastern Oregon among family members who were vets dating back to WW2) to find out what happend to Major Echanis.
To Mike, according to his family, it didn't matter to him how he got there...SF or otherwise...as long as he did.
Both were reunited when their names were engraved on the same brick in the memorial walkway by the family.
Many years ago Master Chief Nissley (Retired) placed bricks for MDE and Chuck at the UDT/SEAL Museum walkway in Florida. This to honor their training of ST-2 operators at A.P Hill per then ST-2 CDR Richard Marcinko.
