THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from Sister Helen P Mrosla is poignant (in response to a question as to the veracity of this story I did google her and there is a professor by that name). As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..

On the remembrance of your 70th birthday, your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH
