THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Soldier,
My name is Josh Pinkham and I am a student at Gridley High School. I am working on the Gridley High School posting project for my U.S. History class. I would like to thank you for your bravery in fighting in the war.

I am a student at Gridley High School in Gridley, Illinois, and this posting is part of the Gridley High School Posting Project. You will never be forgotten. The memory of your courage and sacrifice will live on forever in the hearts of Americans like myself, inspiring them to achieve greater things, and reminding them of how lucky they are to live in this country. Thank you for your sacrifice.

"An God said who shall we send.I answered I am here,send me."
