USAID VP VOICE | BY RANDY CHESTER AFSA NEWS THE FOREIGN SERVICE JOURNAL | MAY 2024 77 Contact: chester@afsa.org | (202) 712-5267 As we celebrate 100 years of the Foreign Service, it’s important to remember the lives and service of those who were killed or died as a result of their service. From 1953 and the original Point Four Program that led to the creation of the Agency for International Development until today, those fallen friends and colleagues have been remembered on the USAID Employee Memorial Wall. Below are the 99 memorialized names of USAID Foreign Service officers, Foreign Service Nationals, and contractors who lost their lives while serving the U.S. government to promote international development. With undying gratitude, we honor your service and ultimate sacrifice. Remembering Our Fallen USAID Colleagues 1950-1959 Walter Eltringham, Korea Ralph B. Swain, Mexico Everette D.
