THE WALL OF FACES

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

Paul, Chop Vum and March 3rd will always be remembered by your brothers. You, along with many others gave everything that day.
You will always be remembered by us, your brothers.

Dear PFC Paul Cooke,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. It is so important for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.

Uncle Paul, I don't really remember you. I would have only been 4 when you passed on, but I know I would have loved you, as I enjoyed all of my mom's many brothers when they visited our home.

Dear PFC Paul Donald Cooke, sir

As an American, I would like to thank you for your service and for your sacrifice made on behalf of our wonderful country. The youth of today could gain much by learning of heroes such as yourself, men and women whose courage and heart can never be questioned.

May God allow you to read this, and may He allow me to someday shake your hand when I get to Heaven to personally thank you. May he also allow my father to find you and shake your hand now to say thank you; for America, and for those who love you.

With respect, and the best salute a civilian can muster for you, Sir

Curt Carter
