THE WALL OF FACES

John, I was not quite two when you left us, so I do not remember you. But, we have your pictures throughout family to look at and think of fondly. You were and are still talked about even though you are gone. Say Hi to our father from his children. - Julie

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your brother Rich is moving and reflects the anguish experienced by so many who lost loves ones in this war. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us.

Remembering a childhood friend today. For all he gave, a humble thank you.
