THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. While all deaths in Vietnam are tragic that you died just two days after your 19th birthday is especially so. May you rest in eternal peace.

On the remembrance of your 72nd birthday, and as the 53rd anniversary of your death approaches, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

Thank you for your service in the Vietnam War. Your sacrifice will never be forgotten. Hopefully one day I will be able to shake your hand and thank you for your sacrifice personally when I reach Heaven as well. Until then, I hope this message reaches your courageous soul. You will be remembered. Rest with the angels, your work is done.
