THE WALL OF FACES

I spend the day with your family. We reminisced about you. We looked at old pictures. We shared tears and hugs. It was a beautiful day. We will gather at your grave the end of this month. More tears, I’m sure, and wishes that you were still with us. We all love you. It was a great day for me. I know you were watching along with Crazy Don. ??

On June 28, 1971 three young Americans were taken from us, Bernard Brzezinski, Willie James and Gerald Dowjotas; and many, as I, were wounded. As we close in on the 50th year following that terrible day, I want you to know that you and the others have been in my thoughts every day.

I was born in the winter of 69 and you were my godfather. Son of Beverly Barley (Schuch) (now Fleetwood). Sure wish I could have known you because heard that were the absolutely most wonderful man. Thank you for being my godfather and paying the ultimate sacrifice.

47 years ago you left this earth. I think of you everyday. I am blessed to have been part of your short life. With live eternal Jerry.

Dear Sgt Gerald Dowjotas,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman with the 1st Cavalry. 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.
