THE WALL OF FACES

Stan and I served together as riggers in the 82nd and had many good times during overnight pass to places near and far from Ft. Bragg. After being transferred to line companies and spending 6 months in the Dominican Republic we received our orders for Viet Nam together during the Thanksgiving holiday of 1965. We were again separated upon arrival in country, Stan to alfa and me to bravo companies, 1st of the 327th. 101st airborne. The day I was wounded Stan was killed but I didn't find out till I read his name on the causality list in the Stars and Stripes news paper. I've visited the wall and found his name. He was a good man and a good friend and I think of him often.

Private First Class Stanley T. Demboski, Served with Company A, 1st Battalion, 327th Infantry Regiment, 1st Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from yoru friend Robert Cody is poignant. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us.

He and I served together in the rigger company, supply and transport battalion in the 82nd ABN. He always had a grin on that baby face of his and you could tell he was up to something. When the Dominican Republic crisis came up a lot of us were shipped out to the infantry units. Later upon our return in late October 1965 we received orders for Vietnam. He was assigned to the 1/327 Inf. 1st BDE 101st ABN as I was. He went to A company and I went to B company after My Cann II on Feb. 7, 1966. He was killed at My Phu which was hard fighting when his company came to the aid of B company.

I am so sorry he died in that tragic war. May God Bless him.
