THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for stepping up and answering your country's call. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. Rest easy knowing you will never be forgotten.

Dear Cpl Richard Demers,
Thank you for your service as an Antitank Assaultman. Today is the 43rd anniversary of the Fall of Saigon. 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.

Corporal Richard Arthur Demers, Served with the Headquarters and Service Company, 1st Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

I've filled out a number of these memorials on the Virtual Vietnam Veterans' Wall over the last 2-3 months or so. EVERY Corporal, Private, Lieutenant, Nurse, etc., DESERVES to be remembered! So it seems that one Richard Demers actually volunteered for duty in Vietnam. That in itself shows what a patriotic and brave young man he was. Thank you for your service and sacrifice!

I remember the day well when they announced your name on the PA system at Notre Dame. The tears,the sorrow that followed. You will always be remembered. Z Rest in peace
