THE WALL OF FACES

Dear Lcpl Joseph Donovan,
Thank you for your service as a ONTOS Crewman. Your 71st birthday just passed, happy birthday. Memorial Day just passed, and we remember all you who gave their all. 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.

Mike, I remember you when you were about 10 or 12 from up at Owasco Lake. You are the only person I ever knew personally who made the greatest sacrifice.Every time the topic of Vietnam comes up, I think of you and remember the freckle-faced cute kid of my childhood. Thank you for your service. RIP
Ann P.

With respect, Sir
