THE WALL OF FACES

Peter is buried at Mount Calvary Cemetery, Dubuque,IA. PH

Peter and I (and Paul) were together all during Infantry Training Regiment. We always stood in line together as our last names are so close. I have fond memories of those days and our friendship. I went to Sniper School so they went over to Vietnam before me. I saw Paul on Okinawa a day or two after Peter was killed and we talked briefly. I have "never" forgotten that moment or the sacrifice that Peter (and his family) made. My email is [email protected]

Hello my name is Drew Bunting and I am this remembrance as part of the Gridley High School Posting Project. It is my belief that neither you nor your fellow soldiers should have been involved in this war. Even so you accepted your duty at a moments notice to defend a way of life that was not your own and for this I feel a great sense of pride.

My name is Jesse MacDonald, and as part of the Gridley High School posting project, I would like to take this time to show my pride for the fighting men of this country, past and present. You ran the race, you did your best, and more than likely you saved many American lives in the process. Words cannot express how gratefull I, along with the rest of Gridley, Illinois, are for your selfless courage. Thank you.

Although we never met personally, I want to thank you Peter Everett Cook, for your courageous and valiant service, faithful contribution, and your most holy sacrifice given to this great country of ours!

Your Spirit is alive--and strong, therefore Marine, you shall never be forgotten, nor has your death been in vain!

Again, thank you PFC Peter Everett Cook, for a job well done!

REST IN ETERNAL PEACE MY MARINE FRIEND
