THE WALL OF FACES

My great uncle Bobby, who I never had the pleasure of meeting. I love you. My grandfather tells stories of him all the time, and speaks about how courageous he was. A true American. A real New Yorker, from Queens. Maybe the most decorated pilot from Queens. His story needs to be heard. May he Rest In Peace.

My mom, Mary Stevens spoke about her first cousin with pride.

Thank you for your service to our country sir. Your 3 Distinguished Flying Crosses attest o your bravery. Rest in eternal peace.

Our nation owes a debt to it's fallen heroes that we can never fully repay! From a fellow Queens native and vet; Semper Fi!

Even though it's been almost 50 years, it's still difficult sometimes to realize that my own family has never met you. I look at your medal case with its flag and remember the ceremonies we attended on your behalf. You're still here!
