THE WALL OF FACES

Bobby, I too am a Nam Vet. The only difference is that I some how made it. I remember when we were in the band together at Vets High School. You playing trumphet and I tuba. The day we locked you in the tuba case cause you were so small, and the Director going nuts. Remember when you taught me to play "Wonderland By Night" on your horn? I am a member of Chapter 325 of the Viet Nam Veterans Asso. and read either your name or Jurcak's when we have our service on Memorial Day and Veterans Day. I always add "My Friend" before the name. Thank you for your service and "Welcome Home Buddy"

I think of you everytime I see the "wall" -

You were in my high school class - you had the horrible statistic of being the first person in our class to die...I'll always remember you, your beautiful hair, your "dare to be different" and, of course, your WHITE BUCKS!!!

THANK YOU, thank you, thank you.

Dear Robert Cottenier,
Thank you for bravely standing up for our country against communism. You were only 21 years old when you died at Kwang Nam September 4, 1967. Your memory will live on forever through your friends, family, and students at Burrillville High School.
Sincerely,
Burrillville High School
