I AM SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS. INDEED , A HEROE ! HEROES LIKE THIS DO NOT DIE , THEY JUST FADE AWAY. I WAS THERE WHEN YOU GOT WOUNDED , NOT FAR BEHIND. GOD BLESS YOU , HORST FAAS.
A man among men, and a photojournalist's role model.
To the FAAS family sorry for your loss may GOD give you his love, peace, and strength in this time of sorrow. He told alot of storys through his photo especially the war. May he R.I.P -|-
May god bless you as you enter into his heavenly kingdom . And I pray and thank you for your time and service to America .
I was a trainee journalist undertaking a year long study of the impact of photojournalism during the Vietnam War and it capability to change public opinion when I met Horst. It was 1999 and he became my mentor for the project. His help, support and generosity made my assignment possible. Such a great man, rest in peace.
My condolence to Haas' family. From July of 65 until January of 67, I was a U.S. Navy journalist and interpreter. I served in Saigon in the office that accredited the press corps that covered the war. I knew Haas and many of the photogs of that era. He was a legend even then. When I left Vietnam Horst wrote for me a gracious and complimentary letter of recommendation in case I wanted to continue in the field of photo-journalism. I treasure it to this day. As well as the memory of spending one night with Haas in a foxhole.
My condolences! Although I never met Mr. Fass, I was aware of him as a legendary man through my late father who worked with him for many years at the Associated Press.
Only good words were spoken of him!
May the God of all comfort be with you at this time of grief, may all Horst's memories stay close to your heart. Psalms 46:1 Joanna

Thanks for the memorable images, Horst. They will live forever. Thanks for showing us how it should be done.
In late Feb or early March '67, Faas accompanied our Recon Platoon on patrol. We had two major engagemts with VC earlier in Feb which was reason for his joining us. No activity during his tenure with us but when we set up camp one night in the jungle, he broke out a folding stool to sit on and shared small cans of wine with us. He had a small transistor radio with ear piece he plugged in to listen to, not knowing it was also broadcasting loudly. We grabbed it and stomped it to pieces. Good journalist who knew what to self censor and what to publish.

Horst was my friend and mentor for 50 years. He showed me why "we must see for those who don't see so well." He will forever be in my heart.
Thank you for your service to your country
Faas himself was a gift to the world of news photographers. A sensitive photographer and a tough decision maker as the picture editor, combined both shows him as a caring human being. Rest in peace.
We salute your veteran. Our condolences for your loss and gratitude for your loved one's service to our country.

To the Fass Family,
Without people like Mr. Fass, the general public would have no idea what war is all about. Through his efforts and photography he made the world aware of exactly what wars are really about, pain and suffering.
I am so sorry for your lost. May you and your family rely on God in this time of grief.
I am sorry for your loss. May the Father of tender mercies help you to cope with the loss of your dear loved one.
Horst flew many missions with me in 1965/66 in Vietnam. What a wonderful man. Rest in Peace.
I"m so sorry for your family loss may you draw courage and strength from one another both family and friends and the tender mercy of God carry you.
With deepest sympathy to family and friends of Horst Faas and may you find comfort in God's inspired word the Bible (2 Timothy 3:16).
Horst was not only a remarkable photojournalist but courageous and caring for his fellow photographers. When my closest friend AP and Boston Globe photographer, Oliver Noonan Jr. was shot down in a command helicopter close to Danang, the Americal Division mutinied for days rather than retrieve the bodies of Ollie and the many US colonels that died in that crash. Despite the intense fighting Horst and Peter Arnett made it to the crash site and recovered Ollie's camera and final roll of film which he brought back to Ollie's father, Oliver Noonan, another well known and highly regarded Boston photographer who was a father to me and taught me my craft. Thank you Horst for everything, your legend and life work will stand as will our memories.
