THE WALL OF FACES

On the remembrance of your 74th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

My uncle Michael C. D"Arcy, was killed 54 years ago yesterday, May 14, 1966, I was 6 months old. However, I think of him often, probably because I heard so much about him from my father, mother and grandmother as a kid. Thank you Uncle Mike, for your sacrifice, your honor and pride to this great nation. We will be forever proud of your service.

Michael C. D'arcy, I've heard many amazing things about you. My grandma Patricia, your sister, and my Tío Tony, your brother, have told me the amazing history of you and the great times you guys probably had. They told me that you were my tío and they named a school after you in honor of your service. Grandma has been wanting to take my brothers and I there to see the school and learn more about you. I've been wanting to become a photographer, and I've made a promise to myself that the first picture I'm going to be taking is the veteran wall in Washington DC, in honor of you. I shall forever keep that promise. I really wish I would have been able to met you, but you're living peace now. I love you and God Bless.

Today as I fly a formation flight in remembrance of our fallen my thoughts go out to all of my family from my grandfather in ww1 to my father and uncles in ww2 and the relatives and family through Korea and Vietnam and all The men and ladys that have and do serve our great nation today, thank you and our thoughts are always with you. God bless.
