Aug. 17, 2008 I visited the R.I. Veterans Cemetary today and while there, I checked the list of dead and MIA in Viet Nam, which is a set of monuments with the names inscribed. I checked Col. Cappelli's name and there has been a correction on the stone which lets you know that he is no longer missing.

I worked with Colonel Cappelli's brother for many years and I only knew of his being shot down and the later return of his remains. His family was well known in R.I. and if any of his family or friends see this, I have not forgotten his sacrifice and service to this country. I will look up his name when next I visit the wall.

I never knew Major Cappelli. As a high school student in Guam I wore a POW bracelet for almost two years from 1969-1971 with his name on it. I always wondered what happened to him and wanted to learn more about him. Later in life I visited the wall and found his name. I have shown my children his name and talked about the war and the bracelet I wore. Now I see a lot more about his life. We are both Roman Catholics. It is sad for me to see that he lived for six years after being shot down. Thanks for providing this information. I will continue to pray for him and his family.
