THE WALL OF FACES

George is buried at Santa Fe Nat Cemetery.

SSG Cox was a member of Company C, 20th Infantry, 11th Infantry Brigade, 23 Infantry Division (Americal Division). He was killed 4 days prior to the events that became known as the My Lai Massacre. Captain Ernest Medina used the death of SSG Cox, a well liked squad leader, to whip his soldiers into a frenzy for the attack at My Lai, 18 Mar 1968.

FOREVER REMEMBERED

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....
Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle hero’s you left behind...."

Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.

We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heros lost to the War in Vietnam:

Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.

From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers

Youi have done a lot for our country, and I am very honored that you did everything you did. Thank you for everything!
Sincerely Yours:
Katie Enright
