THE WALL OF FACES

Denny,
I have visited you at The Wall many times over the 55 years since you were taken away. I finally got to this site and found a place where I could talk to you. I well remember we were in high school together, played ball together, double dated and graduated the same day. I never saw you again after that day. We served in Vietnam at the same time. After I came home I found out about your death. While I had other friends that were lost over there, you were the first from the NHHS Class of 62 that I found out about in August 68 when I got home. I was deeply affected. I'm now an old man of 77 but I remember us both as the boys we were. You were the best of the best. I want anyone who reads this to know that. You died leading and protecting your men. Let history judge that damned war. You were a hero. To you memory and spirit, I say "Welcome home, Vietnam vet. Welcome home."
Bill Cammarata, NHHS Class of 62

My first love, my dear husband March 26, 1967 - July 14, 1968, always in my heart and with my soul.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who served under you attest to the respect they have for you. As long a you are remembered you will never truly die.

I remember the first time I met him. I was impressed with his demeanor which was one of self-assurance and total control. I knew right then that I was going to be in good hands. I was the point man on the patrol that fateful day and there isn't a day that does't go by that don't relive the day. He was a great man and didn't deserve to die. I have always wanted to met his wife and family to let them know what a great man he was and that he had the respect of all his men.

DEAR LIEUTENANT ANDREWS,
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE AS A MARINE INFANTRY OFFICER. SEMPER FI. IT IS THE 9/11 WEEKEND WHEN WE HONOR THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIVES, IT IS A GOOD TIME TO HONOR YOU TOO. REST IN PEACE.
