JAMES HAMILTON HISE - Navy - LTJG - O2
Age: 25
Race: Caucasian
Date of Birth Apr 29, 1941
From: DES MOINES, Iowa
Religion: PROTESTANT
Marital Status: Single - Parents: Father, Donald W. Hise - Navy Casualty on 4-12-1967 (1910-1965/7), and Mother, Jane B Hise Gibson (1916-1977)of Des Moines, Iowa and Brother, LTJG George E. Hise of San Francisco, CA.

***** ( Photo's ) - My husband J Earl McCormick was stationed with James in VF-53 at the time of James' death. I was going through some of my husband's old paper the other day and came across this pamphlet the USS Hancock published for James' memorial service. Just thought you might like to have the bio part.
One thing in his Find A Grave memorial page
that is "troubling" is the line where it states his tour of duty began Mar 25, 1967 as you can see in the bio, he reported to duty with VF-53 at NAS Miramar San Diego CA in December of 1964. You will also see that his brother was serving with him.
I will attach all 4 pages of the pamphlet.
Thanks for all your work on Find A Grave
Take care, Mary Lou McCormick

***** Jim & I were roommates on his first tour in Viet Nam on the USS Ticonderoga 1965-1966. When he was killed on the Hancock, he had just made a perfect (OK-3) landing, but the wire broke. Jim ejected, but his chute did not have time to open. Although the most junior pilot in the squadron on his first tour, he was by far the best pilot. I will never forget him.
I must correct the statement that he was returning from a non-combat flight. Jim was most definitely returning from a combat flight.
