THE WALL OF FACES

We never met, but I feel as though I know you. My uncle was also a Seawolf and after they contacted my family and brought us such joy, we worked with the Seawolves to contact your brother, Cliff. Your brother and all who knew you are so proud of you. You were obviously an outstanding person and incredibly loved. Your service to this country will never be forgotten. Thank you for making the ultimate sacrifice.
God Bless,
Malin McCain

I can remember when you and Cliff moved here, we were always together. We played together, went to school together, and grew up together.
Bobby and I won a "twist dance contest" durning the teen club dances at red bird school.
I beleive the hardest thing I ever had to do was to go the the funeral and say good bye to you, while expecting my baby and having my husband, in the navy, awaiting orders to go to Vietnam. He was a corpman, so this all hit very close to home.
When I saw your mother at the house, she and I both went to pieces, we held each other for so long.
I'll never forget you and I'll aways love you. After all, your my brother.
Always my love
Ann Ryan
