THE WALL OF FACES

This is from the mad russian 12A, a veterran who served during that period.

Dear Glenn Urban sacrificed your life fifty-one years ago. My grandfather, emigrated from Italy, the early twentieth century, He worked in Philadelphia at Midvale Steel and served the US in the I World War, in northern Europe, in the uniform of the american armed forces, with proud & honor. I am always near you, with my heart, to your soul, often forgotten, having you and many others served your beloved homeland during the Vietnam War, leaving your life in that land so far away, suddenly, but having saved precious human lives first. My heart, from Italy, is torn for all Vietnam veterans too.
