THE WALL OF FACES

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. The remembrance from your classmate Paul Blasko Gallagher is poignant. As long as you are remembered you will always be with us….

Never forget.

Dear Lcpl Richard Evancho,
Thank you for your service as a Motor Vehicle Operator. You are still MIA. PLEASE COME HOME.
It is important for us to remember all of you. 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. BE AT PEACE.

I graduated with Richie from Freeland High in 1966. He was quiet but always very nice. I remember going to his funeral. At our 50th class reunion we collected money for a Hometown Hero banner. Today at our Memorial Service a plaque was dedicated to Richie and Paul Karpowich who died in Iraq. His mother and sister were there for the unveiling. Richie is gone but was never forgotten and never will be. Rest In Peace
