“I was going through some boxes and came across a picture of my cousin Mark Bert Foxwell and his decorations from his career as decorated U.S. Air Force fighter pilot during the Vietnam War.

The picture and citation write up here are from his service during Vietnam Nam and are for his “2” Distinguished Flying Crosses. Mark not only stepped up to the duty to which he was called, he also went far above and beyond. His flight records show him flying this jet, tail number 123 at Tyndall in 1981, and he is also pretty sure that he also got to fly her at Langley in 1965-1967. But back then, they didn’t record tail numbers in the official flight records.

His father, Glen Mark Foxwell in the photo shown, served in the Navy from 1937 through to the end of WWII in 1945 as a Machinist Mate First Class.

Even though my relation with Mark is through my wife, Betsy, I’m still blessed and honored to call Mark my cousin…

Always remember those who served…”

We are grateful to Kevin for sharing Mark’s story with Comes A Soldier’s Whisper, where we honor those who served and sacrificed for the freedoms we enjoy today.

God Bless all who serve and keep us safe.
