THE WALL OF FACES

I served with Joe Became friends and wanted to be assigned to his squad

Sergeant Joe Alexander Escandon, Served with Company E, 1st Battalion, 501st Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrances from those who knew you are poignant and reflect their admiration and respect for you. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..

I knew Joe until we graduated in 1968. We played together at Locketville I think of him often and fondly. I was home on leave from Vietnam, when I learned of his death. I grieved for his families loss. 52 years later I still miss him.

Joe, you were a mentor to me when I was young, when I had no earthly father. The Lord placed you in my path then I believe to give me confidence in myself to build my hope and purpose. Thank you! I know you are at rest in our Lord's presence and I will see you again.
