A 1965 Central Washington Football Program with three year starting Guard and USAF veteran San Francisco. San D. Francisco (1944-1968?) was a Major in the USAF during the Vietnam War. His plane, a F-4D Phantom, was shot down in Quang Binh province, November 25, 1968. He and the co-pilot, Major Joseph Morrison, parachuted to the ground. Morrison was killed resisting capture, and Francisco broke his legs in a hard landing. It is thought he was killed by carpet-bombing in an effort to rescue him. His body was photographed for North Vietnamese propaganda purposes three days later, then buried in an unmarked grave. His remains have never been recovered, and he is still considered MIA, but presumed dead. An expedition is set to search the area later this year for his remains...
