THE WALL OF FACES

.....but I saw your name on the Memorial many years ago. I've thought of your sacrifice over the years, and wondered who you were. I just found out about the "Wall of Faces" last night, and here you are. I am a Coulombe, from MA, maybe we're related, maybe not, but you were taken from this world all too soon. Respect.

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.

I was just four when you came to see us in San Diego in 1968. Your brother, my dad, Leo J Coulombe was in Vietnam at that time. It's so sad that good people taken from us over Wars :( Dad & I will see you some day again...

I worked with your brother, George delivering furniture for R Smith in the mid 70's, and I have to say it was the most wonderful time of my life!! I didn't know you, but if you were anything like him, then you were a great guy too! I was only 26 days older than you, and I fought with the Army in Quang tri as well! I miss cn George real bad!

Dear Lcpl Francis Coulombe,
Thank you for your service as a Rifleman. 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.
