Letters help reader find family of Vietnam hero
The widow of a Vietnam vet, James Bradley, sent two letters, on two different occasions, to Ann Landers nationally syndicated column. In the first letter, she explains that on Nov. 20, 1967, a plane carrying James Bradley and Capt. John Murray Martin was shot down in Vietnam. Although James Bradley managed to bail out and write a letter home describing what happened that day, he was later killed in action. Capt. Martin was mistakenly listed as missing-in-action.
In her first letter, Mrs. Bradley says for years she has been trying unsuccessfully to get in touch with the Martin family to tell them what really happened to Capt. Martin.
In the second letter, Mrs. Bradley says that the entire Martin family read her first letter and got in touch with her the same day it was published. The Martins said that although they had hoped Capt. Martin might still be alive, the news, painful as it was, came as a relief.
