THE WALL OF FACES

You are in the hearts and minds of many. Thank you for enlisting to serve in the Air Force during such a difficult time period in our nation's history. This memorial of the life you lived will be passed on for future generations to learn about as our country will never forget you and your fellow service members who gave their life during the Vietnam War.

I was in high school in 1995 when I visited the Vietnam Memorial wall in DC for the first time. I bought a POW-MIA bracelet with Peter's name on it. I came back years later and did a rubbing of his name. Today- on National POW-MIA Recognition Day- I proudly wore his bracelet while serving wounded Service Members at work.

Thanks to all that remember Pete!!!!
If you look at the pictures posted with this remembrance, ignore the "headstone'. It's bogus. The USAF "positively ID'd" a piece of tooth to a set of x-rays they claimed were Pete's teeth. The x-rays were of a full set of teeth. Pete lost several and wore a place prior to enlisting. He's not buried in Arlington!

My husband was one of the men coming back from Vietnam during the mine sweeping and he received Mr. Cressman bracelet, my husband after many years of devoted his life to saving people and animals died from agent orange he’s been dead now almost 4 years it seems like only yesterday but as I was going through some things I found the bracelet it always met a lot to my husband, he was so proud of all the men and women that were over there in the middle of all that. My husband always kept this on a trophy that he got When you came back from Vietnam he was always so proud and always hoping and praying that he would be able to hand this bracelet to the man that he held it for so dearly.

I am not a relative.
I am not an acquaintance.
But I am free,
I am alive,
and I am safe because of soldiers like you.
Thank you is not enough. May you rest in peace and I hope to meet you in Heaven.
