THE WALL OF FACES

This 70-year old man remember you from Park Ridge, a contemporary of my older sister. You lived in the corner house on Prospect Ave, across the street from St. Mary's church. On your birthday each year, the date you died and Veteran's day, I salute your Patriotism to the USA. You will not be forgotten as long as I live. Semper Fidelis!
