A Wall To Lean On
Kathy McCabe, Boston Globe, 6 Sep 2009
Douglas John Glover was a Green Beret home on leave from Vietnam when he strode through the front door of his brother’s house, dressed in Army fatigues. “He was as big as life,’’ said Tom Glover, 45, a nephew who lives in Nahant. “He was tall, with dark hair and blue eyes. He looked so strong.’’
Glover - who rode horseback in the funeral procession of President John F. Kennedy - was reported missing in action in Vietnam on Feb. 19, 1968. He was 26 years old, a father-to-be whose body was never recovered.
“We were hoping he would be found,’’ Glover said quietly. “You always hope there will be some closure.’’
He found solace at The Wall That Heals, a traveling replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington that made a four-day visit to Fraser Field in Lynn. The memorial bears the names of 58,261 servicemen and women who died in the war. The fallen - whose names are listed chronologically by date of death - include 1,335 from Massachusetts and 225 from New Hampshire.
