VIAN, Oklahoma -
Friends and family are remembering a fallen serviceman who went missing in action more than 50 years ago. They gathered in Vian for a memorial dedication Saturday.
The monument was costly but the man behind it, Jimmy Owens, said it s nothing in comparison to what the Vietnam War cost Captain Neil Bynum: His life. How easy we forget, Owens said.
If you’ve ever had an encounter with Captain Neil Bynum, you d remember it.
While it was cut short, he led an impactful life in Vian. Duty, honor, dedication, motivation, Owens said.
Owens said the idea for the memorial came after reading something written by Bynum s daughter, who spoke of her life without her father and growing up longing for his presence.
