My father, Oscar Holder, was a Foreign Service Officer who died in the line of duty in 1962. In early May 2003 his name was added to a plaque in the lobby of the State Department in Washington. This video shows the plaque unveiling ceremony.

My mother, who had been ill for a long time, worked hard to have my father's name included and to have his sacrifice honored. She attended the ceremony in a wheelchair and died a month loter.
