Maribel, 15, whose family now lives at Camp Zama, recalled searching for people to add to her prayer list from the names of more than 58,000 American service members etched into the memorial.
As she wrote down names, one of the veterans traveling with the wall approached her and asked if she could remember his best friend, U.S. Navy Capt. Frank Fullerton, an A-4F Skyhawk pilot who never returned from a mission over North Vietnam.
With tears in her eyes, Maribel agreed and penned his name at the top of her list. The moment touched her so much that she later recounted the story for an audio essay contest held by the Veterans of Foreign Wars organization.
