TLS as president, one page, 6.75 x 9, White House letterhead, February 9, 1990. Letter to the daughter of Lieutenant Colonel Robert A. Stubberfield. In full: “Barbara and I have been thinking of you. In reflecting back over this past year, one very poignant event that we recalled was the news of the return from Vietnam of your father, Lieutenant Colonel Robert A. Stubberfield, USAF. Though your years of uncertainty have ended with sadness, it has also given all Americans an opportunity to recognize your father’s sacrifice for our nation. He served his country with devotion, and, like so many of his comrades in arms, gave his life in defense of the precious freedom we cherish and will pass to generations yet unborn. Barbara joins me in sending our prayers and best wishes to you.” In very fine condition.
Stubberfield was a captain when he was shot down over South Vietnam during a mission in May 1965. US officials surmised that the Air Force officer had been captured—one of approximately 3,000 Americans unaccounted for at the end of the war—but his fate remained a mystery until 1989, when his remains, which had previously been returned by the Vietnamese, were identified. One wonders whether, as he sent this message, Bush’s thoughts wandered to his own days as a pilot, as well as the mission in which he was forced to parachute from his own damaged aircraft. Perhaps, the 41st president thought, his fate could have been the same as Stubberfield, a sentiment that seems to weave its way through this thoughtful message.
