Memories and Tributes
- John McKenna provides: Cole was a pilot on our VFP-62 Det 33-60 60-61 Med cruise, USS Intrepid with Crusaders.
- (6/2/16) I remember wearing a POW bracelet with Cole Black's name on it when I
was in high school. I am now 60 years old and I still remembered his
name. Was happy to find more info about him on the internet.

 (11/13/20) I wore a POW Cole Black bracelet; it broke in half 1973. How ironic, I did not know he was released then. I ceremoniously and properly buried it in my parents backyard.
The Vietnam War interests me. My father went to Vietnam 6-6-66 on the John C Pope with the 173rd from Ft. Campbell. He was also a Military advisor in Tho 1967. He was MIA for 6 months somewhere in that time, that is when my mom had to move off post and I had to attend civilian school in Ringo County.
