THE WALL OF FACES

Reading all of these tributes to you is heartwarming. I only know of you through the stories my dad has told me. My brother was named after you. My hope is, he has found you in heaven as he passed away very young as well. There is a building on the NMHU campus in Las Vegas, NM named after you, Archuleta Hall. Rest east my dear uncle and thank you for your service ❤️

I was a crewman on one the Dusters at LZ Willy the night of the Willy bridge firefight. I had the opportunity to have a conversation with Joseph prior to the firefight and have always remembered his friendly personality. We discussed his training at the Vietnamese Language School and I was quite impressed by his ability to converse with the locals. My prayer is that the Creator of the Universe has brought peace him and his family.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will never truly die.
