THE WALL OF FACES

I remember Joe when he would visit his grandparents on Lincoln St. His grandparents were our neighbors. A very nice young man. Thank you for your sacrifice. I will always remember you.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from family members attest to their love and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us.
