THE WALL OF FACES

He was my uncle's vest friend. They lived across the street from each other their whole lives, until Paul was sent to Vietnam. He is truly missed by all.

"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at best, knows the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."
-Theodore Roosevelt, "Citizen in a Republic", April 23, 1910

Corporal Paul Leonard Abraham, Served with the 3rd Platoon, Company C, 2nd Battalion, 47th Infantry Regiment, 9th Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

DEAR CORP. ABRAHAM,

DURING THIS INDEPENDENCE DAY WEEKEND, IT IS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THOSE OF YOU WHO PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR THIS NATION.

THANK YOU!

REST IN PEACE.

PS. YOU WERE BORN A A SPECIAL DAY TO ME, JUST A FEW YEARS BEFORE....

Thank you to those that served with Paul. Thank you to the teachers or project leaders for instilling in us all the importance of remembering those who have perished in service to our country and those that have served and have returned. To those that have posted remembrances know that you are heard and I am sure Paul hears your words and prayers. He is my brother and will always be missed.
