On April 28, 1968, he flew a mission into North Vietnam on an A4E aircraft and failed to return. His last kown location was about 50 miles southeast of the city of Vinh in Ha Tinh Province. No information has been received since that time on Robert Saavedra. Nearly 2500 Americans did not return from the war in Vietnam. Thousands of reports have been received indicating that some hundreds remain alive in captivity. Whether Saavedra is alive is not known. What is certain, however, is that Vietnam and her communist allies can tell us what happened to most of our men. Robert was married with 4 children. His wife remarried, and has since passed away. |

| None so brave
None so pure, Than the one we honor With this final salute. But then in our hearts You will always remain, Your love everlasting With no final refrain. For a heart of devotion A life such as yours, Lives on forever Without any pause. You marched through the door Of a mess room divine, To be blessed with reward Of life only kind. To suffer no more In a future secure, Dearest one, we salute, For you, ever endure. |
