THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. I am 73 and have lived a long and fulfilling life. It is tragic you never had that same opportunity. May you rest in eternal peace.

Private First Class John Martin Donohue, Served with Company E, 2nd Battalion, 26th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, Third Marine Amphibious Force.

As your 70th birthday approaches, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Forever 18.

Semper Fi, Marine.

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

I remember John....I was young and he drove a Barracuda. I thought he was so cool...if you had a muscle car in the 60's...you were cool. His cousins..the Priesengers (sp) lived down the road. I called Gary on Sunday morning ... asking if he wanted to play football. There was a lot of excitement in the background and he hung up suddenly. I later learned John had died in VN....I'll remember that day the rest of my life.
