Summary
ABILENE, Texas (Oct. 12, 2018) Sailors from commands in Texas came together to honor Cmdr. Charles Goodwin at the Texas State Veterans Cemetery at Abilene. The Sailors were from the Center for Information Warfare Training (CIWT) Det. Goodfellow, Center for Naval Aviation Technical Training Unit Lemoore Learning Site Goodfellow, Training Air Wing 4, Corpus Christi, and Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base. More than 50 years after he and his jet disappeared during a Vietnam War combat photo mission, Goodwin's remains were escorted by Navy Sailors and the Patriot Guard Riders from Dallas to Abilene, Texas, where he was interred by his family. The Navy also honored Goodwin with a 21-gun salute, a two-plane flyover, the bugle call of "Taps" and the presentation of the U.S. flag that draped his casket to family.
