THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. That you served three tours in Vietnam attests to your courage and devotion to our country. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us.

Specialist Five Jose Manuel De La Torre, Served with the 282nd Assault Helicopter Company, 212th Aviation Battalion, 16th Aviation Group, 1st Aviation Brigade, United States Army Vietnam.

We roomed together in Viet Nam. You took over my aircraft after I went home. Then you lost your life. I will NEVER forget you as you were and alwsys will be a true friend and hero..Love You Brother

I ran track and cross country with Joe Manuel at Fullerton Union High School. He was a quiet kid and a good friend. It was years before I learned that he had died on the day I left Vietnam for home. He has not been forgotten. RIP friend.

Dear Sp5 Jose De La Rosa,
Thank you for your service as a Huey, UH-1 Helicopter Repairer. It has been too long, and it's about time for us all to acknowledge the sacrifices of those like you who answered our nation's call. Please watch over America, it stills needs your strength, courage and faithfulness. Rest in peace with the angels.
