Lieutenant Louis J. Faller, age twenty-four, was reported missing in action on March 25, 1942.

He entered the Army Air Corps with the First Selective Service Group in the fall of 1941, and trained as a pilot.

He received his wings at Maxwell Field, Alabama, and was stationed for a while at Langley Field, Virginia: March Field, California; and Hickok field, Hawaii.

Louis was stationed in Hawaii when he was sent out from his base to fly a mission, from which he did not return.

Louis graduated from the New Milford Junior High School in June 1933, and he was the first New Milford man to give his life in the service of his country during World War II.
