THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your high school classmate Ron Wilkinson is touching. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..

Specialist Four George D. Eppinger, Served with Company C, 2nd Battalion, 16th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, United States Army Vietnam.

I WAS NOT BORN YET BUT MY SIBLINGS WENT TO SCHOOL WITH HIM A FEW YEARS YOUNGER AND MY MOM ALWAYS SAID A PRAYER FOR George at the St Stephens Catholic Church up the street where he lived with his family before giving his life for our Country. Rest Mr. Eppinger You ARE NOT FORGOTTEN

Dear Sp4 George Eppinger,
Thank you for your service as an Infantryman. 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.

Eppi was a classmate of mine at SRHS, we were in the '64 graduating class.
We had several classes together and shared in our love of cars.
I remember him always smiling and having a string of girls not far behind.
I can remember how deviated he was when his brother was so severely injured in a water skiing accident.
We just celebrated our 50th HS reunion and an "Honor Roll" of students departed as read. A very somber moment for all.
