THE WALL OF FACES

May those who served never be forgotten. Rest in peace SGT. Evans, I salute your brave soul. My heart goes out to you and your family.

Sergeant Gary Lee Evans, Served with Company B, 1st Battalion, 502nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade, 101st Airborne Division, United States Army Vietnam.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

It was a HORRIBLE day to watch that helicopter go down with 9 aboard. Nothing the rest of us could do but watch. A pilots mistake. I watched your face trying to decide whether to take a chance of jumping out and possibly get hit by the top rotor of the chopper or riding it down. You only had seconds. After it wwnt down into the ravine it blew up and all perished. Robert Wooldridge and I had the unfortunate duty to load you into the helicopter with others to take you back to the rear. Sorry Brother. You will never be forgotten. I will be putting the honorary Quarter on your grave stone. Because I was there when you died. Rest in Peace.

Thank you for your service to our country so long ago sir. As long as you are remembered you will remain in our hearts forever…..
